The borough lies near the confluence of the Hackensack River and Overpeck Creek in the New Jersey Meadowlands.

History[edit]

Little Ferry was formed by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on September 18, 1894, from portions of Lodi Township and New Barbadoes Township, at the height of the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, based on the results of a referendum held two days earlier.[16][17]

During the colonial era, the town was the site of an important ferry crossing between the region's towns at Bergen and Hackensack, which was operated by rope on the site starting in 1659, continuing until 1826 when it was replaced by a bridge on the Bergen Turnpike.[18]

Gethsemane Cemetery, an African burial ground, was opened in 1860 and was used for interments until 1924.[19] The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[20]

Rosie's Diner was used in the 1970s for the filming of Bounty paper towel commercials featuring Nancy Walker as Rosie the Waitress.[21]

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Little Ferry 35th in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.[22]

Little Ferry is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The government consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at large. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office and only votes to break a tie. The Borough Council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year.[32]

As of 2012, the Mayor of Little Ferry is Mauro D. Raguseo (D, term of office ends December 31, 2015).

New Jersey's Ninth Congressional District is represented by Bill Pascrell (D, Paterson).[41] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Bob Menendez (D, North Bergen).[42][43] Following the death of Frank Lautenberg on June 3, 2013, Governor Chris Christie named New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa (R, Branchburg) to fill the vacant seat on an interim basis from June 10 until an October special election is held to fill the balance of Lautenberg's term.[44]

The 36th District of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by Paul Sarlo (D, Wood-Ridge) and in the General Assembly by Marlene Caride (D, Ridgefield) and Gary Schaer (D], Passaic).[45] The Governor of New Jersey is Chris Christie (R, Mendham Township).[46] The Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey is Kim Guadagno (R, Monmouth Beach).[47]

Bergen County is governed by a directly elected County Executive, with legislative functions performed by a seven-member Board of Chosen Freeholders.[48] The County Executive is Kathleen Donovan (R, Rutherford; term ends December 31, 2014).[49] The seven freeholders are elected at-large in partisan elections on a staggered basis, with two or three seats coming up for election each year, with a Chairman, Vice Chairman and Chairman Pro Tempore selected from among its members at a reorganization meeting held each January.[50] As of 2013, Bergen County's Freeholders are Freeholder Chairman David L.

Dressler (D, Cresskill) and County Clerk John S. Hogan (D, Northvale).[58]

Politics[edit]

As of Election Day, November 4, 2008, there were 4,558 registered voters. Of registered voters, 1,464 (32.1% of all registered voters) were registered as Democrats, 631 (13.8%) were registered as Republicans and 2,461 (54.0%) were registered as Unaffiliated. There were two voters registered to another party.[59]

Education[edit]

The Little Ferry Public Schools serve students in Kindergarten through eighth grade.[61] Schools in the district (with 2009-10 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[62]) are Washington / Memorial Elementary (grades PreK-4; 205 students) and Memorial Middle School (grades 5-8; 755 students).

Since Little Ferry does not have its own high school, for grades 9-12, public school students attend Ridgefield Park High School, in Ridgefield Park only a couple of minutes away, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Ridgefield Park Public Schools that has been in place since 1953.[63]

Transportation[edit]

The Little Ferry Circle connects U.S. Route 46 and Bergen Turnpike. The circle was originally constructed in 1933 in conjunction with the nearby Route 46 Hackensack River Bridge, which crosses the river to Ridgefield Park and beyond to the George Washington Bridge.The circle was largely reconstructed in 1985, allowing vehicles traveling on Route 46 to pass directly through the circle. The circle has been a constant site of accidents, with 40-50 accidents per year at the circle each year from 2004 through 2006.[64] In March 2007, the New Jersey Department of Transportation proposed its latest plan to address issues at the circle. The plan would realign the circle into a straight intersection, complete with turning lanes; prohibit left turns onto many residential streets; and would include construction of a pump station to move water off the oft-flooded highway and into the Hackensack River.[64][65]

New Jersey Transit bus routes 161, 165 and 772 serve Little Ferry.[66]

The Little Ferry Seaplane Base (FAA LID: 2N7) is a public-use seaplane base located 1-mile (1.6 km) east of the borough's central business district, on the Hackensack River. The base is privately owned.[67]
