Norwood is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 5,711,[6][7][8] reflecting a decline of 40 (-0.7%) from the 5,751 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 893 (+18.4%) from the 4,858 counted in the 1990 Census.[18]

Norwood was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 14, 1905, from portions of Harrington Township.[19]

History

The territory comprising Norwood was originally settled about 1670 by a dozen or more families mostly from the Dutch Republic, who purchased the land under the Tappan Patent. About that time a grant was also given by Philip Carteret, Governor of the Province of East Jersey, during the reign of King Charles II of England. The Lenni Lenape Native Americans roamed the valley.[20]

The name Norwood emanated from the old description of its location in the "North-Woods".[21] It was a part of Harrington Township, which was formed in 1775 from the northernmost portions of Hackensack Township and New Barbadoes Township, stretching from the Hudson River in the east to the Saddle River in the west.[20]

In 1840, the portions of Harrington Township west of the Hackensack River were taken away to create Washington Township. At that point, Harrington Township was somewhat in the form of a square measuring across each way about 5 miles (8 km), bounded on the north by Rockland County, New York; east by the Hudson River, south by Hackensack Township and west by the Hackensack River. At that time, Norwood, Northvale (once called Neuvy), Old Tappan, Demarest, Closter and Harrington Park were communities within Harrington Township.[20]

On March 14, 1905, Norwood seceded from its parent Harrington Township and was incorporated as an independent borough.[19][19][20][22]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, Norwood borough had a total area of 2.735 square miles (7.083 km2), including 2.728 square miles (7.066 km2) of land and 0.007 square miles (0.017 km2) of water (0.24%).[4][17]

Norwood is in the northeastern part of New Jersey, about 2 miles (3 km) from the New York state line. It is bordered by the boroughs of Northvale, Old Tappan, Harrington Park, Closter, Alpine and Rockleigh.[23]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names within the borough include West Norwood.[24]

Government

Local government

Norwood 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 Norwood, 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.[34][35]

As of 2015, the Mayor of Norwood is Republican James P. Barsa, whose term of office ends December 31, 2015. Members of the Borough Council are Joseph Ascolese (R, 2015), Thomas Brizzolara (D, 2015), Frank Marino (R, 2016), Marianne Orecchio (R, 2017), Allen Rapaport (R, 2016) and Barry Scott (R, 2017).[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]
