Saddle River is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 3,152,[6][7][8] reflecting a decline of 49 (-1.5%) from the 3,201 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 251 (+8.5%) from the 2,950 counted in the 1990 Census.[18]

Saddle River is one of the wealthiest small municipalities in the United States and was ranked 9th in New Jersey in per capita income as of the 2010 Census.[19] Based on 1989 per capita income, Saddle River was ranked the richest suburb in the nation among those with 2,500 or more people.[20] The borough ranked 28th as of the 2000 Census among the 100 highest-income places in the United States (with at least 1,000 households).[citation needed]

Despite being fairly close to Manhattan, a bucolic atmosphere pervades in town, due in part to a minimum zoning requirement of 2 acres (0.0081 km2) for homes.[21] The borough contains both newer mansions and stately older homes on vast tracts of land.

It is a dry town, where alcohol cannot be sold.[22][23]

History

Saddle River was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on November 22, 1894, from portions of Orvil Township, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier.[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. Saddle River's referendum passed on November 19, one day before the referendum passed for the formation of the neighboring borough of Upper Saddle River.[25] An additional portion of Orvil Township was annexed in 1903.[26]

The borough is named after the Saddle River, which flows through the borough and is a tributary of the Passaic River, which in turn was named for a stream and valley in Saddell, Argyll, Scotland.[27]Edwards, Richard. Industries of New Jersey, Part 1, p. 121. Historical Publishing Company, 1882. Accessed September 30, 2015.</ref>

Government

Local government

Saddle River is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, 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 consists of 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.[3] The Borough form of government used by Saddle River, the most common system used in the state, 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] The Mayor serves as Chief Executive Officer, and is an ex-officio member of all Municipal Committees and is the approving authority in the Borough of Saddle River. Mayoral appointments to the various boards and committees in the Borough are subject to confirmation by the Borough Council. Borough Council members serve on various operating committees and function in a liaison capacity to provide information and direction to the entire governing body.

As of 2015, the Mayor of Saddle River is Republican Samuel S. Raia, whose term of office ends December 31, 2015.[43] Members of the Saddle River Borough Council are Council President Albert J. "Al" Kurpis (R, 2015), Ronald Gray (R, 2016), Eric C. Jensen (R, 2017), Corinne M. Kerner (R, 2016), Paul Schulstad (R, 2017) and Bruce E. Walenczyk (R, 2015).[44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54]

Jerry DeCrosta was appointed in October 2013 to fill the vacant seat expiring 2014 of Michael Mutter, who had resigned the previous month.[55]

Federal, state and county representation

Saddle River is located in the 5th Congressional District[56] and is part of New Jersey's 39th state legislative district.[7][57][58]

For the 118th United States Congress, New Jersey's 5th congressional district is represented by Josh Gottheimer (D, Wyckoff).[59][60] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2027)[61] and George Helmy (Mountain Lakes, term ends 2024).[62][63]

For the 2024–2025 session, the 39th legislative district of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by Holly Schepisi (R, River Vale) and in the General Assembly by Robert Auth (R, Old Tappan) and John V. Azzariti (R, Saddle River).[64] Template:NJ Governor
