About Elmwood Park

Elmwood Park is a diverse, working-class borough in southern Bergen County bordered by the Passaic River to the south and Saddle River to the west. Originally part of Saddle River Township, it became an independent borough in 1916. Elmwood Park offers affordable housing by Bergen County standards, convenient access to major highways, and a tight-knit community with strong ethnic heritage — particularly Italian-American and Polish-American traditions.
