River Edge is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 12,049,[11][12] an increase of 709 (+6.3%) from the 2010 census count of 11,340,[21][22] which in turn reflected an increase of 394 (+3.6%) from the 10,946 counted in the 2000 census.[23]

The community was originally incorporated as the borough of Riverside by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on June 30, 1894, from portions of Midland Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day. On December 1, 1930, the borough's name was changed to River Edge.[24] The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone.[25] The borough was named for its location along the Hackensack River.[26]

Geography[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.88 square miles (4.86 km2), including 1.83 square miles (4.75 km2) of land and 0.05 square miles (0.12 km2) of water (2.39%).[1][2]

A suburb of New York City, River Edge is located approximately 8 miles (13 km) west of Upper Manhattan.

Cherry Hill and North Hackensack are unincorporated communities located within River Edge.[27]

The borough is bordered by the Bergen County municipalities of Hackensack, New Milford, Oradell, Paramus and Teaneck.[28][29][30]

Government[edit]

Local government[edit]

River Edge is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[40] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[8] The borough form of government used by River Edge is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[41][42]

As of 2023, the mayor of the Borough of River Edge is Democrat Thomas R. Papaleo, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023.[3] The members of the Borough Council are Council President Michelle Kaufman (D, 2024), Barry Benson (D, 2025), Dario Chinigo (D, 2023), Indira Kinsella (D, 2023), Klodiana Malellari (D, 2024) and Lissa Montisano-Koen (D, 2025).[43][44][45][46][47][48][49]

In January 2020, the borough council selected Indira Kinsella from three candidates nominated by the Democratic municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that had been held by Thomas Papaleo until he resigned to take office as mayor.[50]

In February 2016, the borough council selected Mary Davis from a list of three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2016 that was vacated by Edward Mignone when he took office as mayor.[51]

In October 2015, council member Anthony Cappola resigned from office and left the race for an Assembly seat in the 38th Legislative District, following disclosures that he had written and published a 2003 book titled Outrageous that was described as "full of racial slurs, rants and stereotypes".[52]
