North Caldwell is a borough in northwestern Essex County, New Jersey, United States, and a suburb of New York City. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 6,183,[7][8][9] reflecting a decline of 1,192 (-16.2%) from the 7,375 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 669 (+10.0%) from the 6,706 counted in the 1990 Census.[19]

North Caldwell was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 31, 1898, from portions of Caldwell Township (now known as Fairfield Township).[20] In 1982, the borough was one of four Essex County municipalities to pass a referendum to become a township, joining 11 municipalities that had already made the change. Ultimately, more than a dozen Essex County municipalities reclassified themselves as townships in order take advantage of federal revenue sharing policies that allocated townships a greater share of government aid to municipalities on a per capita basis.[21][22][23][24] Effective January 1, 1992, it again became a borough.[25] The borough derives its name from Presbyterian minister James Caldwell.[26][27]

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked North Caldwell as its 10th best place to live in its 2010 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey, as well as the 3rd best place to live in its 2013 ranking.[28][29]

The borough housed the Essex County Penitentiary, constructed in 1872 and used as the Essex County Jail Annex until 2004. Since 1920, the inmates at the jail had been included in the borough's population statistics by the Census Bureau. It was sold to K. Hovnanian Companies in 2002, which redeveloped the site into a residential community.[30]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 3.016 square miles (7.811 km2), including 3.011 square miles (7.799 km2) of land and 0.005 square miles (0.012 km2) of water (0.15%).[5][18]

The borough is bordered by Little Falls, Wayne, Fairfield Township, Cedar Grove, West Caldwell, Caldwell, Essex Fells and Verona.[31]

Government

Local government

North Caldwell 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.[4] The borough form of government used by North Caldwell, 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.[40][41]

As of 2016, the Mayor of North Caldwell is Republican Joseph H. Alessi, whose term of office ends December 31, 2018. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Cynthia Santomauro (R, 2017), Frank X. Astorino (R, 2018), John Chiaia (R, 2017), Robert C. Kessler (R, 2018), Joshua H. Raymond (R, 2016) and Arthur J. Rees (R, 2016).[1][42][43][44][45][46]

In October 2014, the borough council appointed Robert Kessler to fill the vacant seat of Patricia Fost.[47]

The Borough of Fairfield in 1978 changed its designation by a majority vote of the electorate and became the 'Township of Fairfield' effective beginning entitlement period 11 (October 1979 to September 1980).... However, the Revenue Sharing Act was not changed and the actions taken by South Orange and Fairfield prompted the Town of Montclair and West Orange to change their designation by referendum in the November 4, 1980, election. The municipalities of Belleville, Verona, Bloomfield, Nutley, Essex Fells, Caldwell, and West Caldwell have since changed their classification from municipality to a township."
