About East Rutherford

East Rutherford is a borough in southeastern Bergen County best known as the home of MetLife Stadium, the Meadowlands Racetrack, and the American Dream mega-complex. While the Meadowlands Sports Complex dominates its southern portion, the borough's northern residential section is a charming, working-class community with a strong Italian-American heritage, close-knit neighborhoods, and a walkable commercial district along Park Avenue. East Rutherford uniquely straddles major entertainment venues and small-town community life.
