Rutherford

The modest borough of Rutherford has the distinction of being called "The First Borough of Bergen County and is located in the county's southern tip. Its population of 18,219 has remained steady the past decade and a half. The borough's 2.81 square miles are surrounded by the neighboring communities of East Rutherford, Lyndhurst, Carlstadt, Wallington, Wood-Ridge, Nutley and Moonachie. It is also bordered by Passaic, a city of over 50,000 that lies just over two miles to the northwest, and New York City is only thirteen miles to the southwest. A little over a fifth of the residents originally hail from other countries, primarily Asia, Europe, and Latin America, while native born citizens can trace their ancestral roots to Italian, Irish, German, Polish, English, and American origin. Just over half of the residents have earned Bachelor's or higher education degrees, and a little over 53% are married. Those having experienced divorce comprise 6.5% of the population.

Also known as the Borough of Trees, the tree-lined streets enhance the image of a quiet borough in the midst of a busy city. At the same time, residents and visitors can easily see the New York skyline, reminding them how close they are to shopping and entertainment. Homes which are over 100 years old sit beside new construction as people choose this location for its small-town feel and convenient commute. Not far away, locals can take in a game at MetLife Stadium as they cheer on the Giants and Jets. The walkability of the community adds to the appeal, especially as walkers visit the historic downtown district. Rail and bus service make commuting into New York and to other boroughs much less stressful.
