The small village of Ridgefield Park covers 1.73 square miles in the southeast corner of Bergen County, New Jersey. Home to 12,864 residents as of 2012, the community's population has remained relatively stable since 2000, with only a minute decrease. Though situated at the junction between I-80 and I-95, only 18% of residents commute daily. In addition, Teterboro Airport lies less than two miles to the west of Ridgefield Park. The village is surrounded by neighboring boroughs Little Ferry, Bogota, Palisades Park, Leonia, Ridgefield, Moonachie and Teaneck. Passaic, the nearest city with over 50,000 residents, is just 5.5 miles to the west of Ridgefield Park. New York City's bustling streets are a mere twelve miles to the southeast of the village. Of Ridgefield Park's very diverse residents, 35% emigrated from other countries, primarily Latin America and Asia. The remaining citizens can trace their ancestral beginnings back to Italy, Ireland, Germany, Arab nations, Poland, and England. Just over half of the village's residents are married, and 7.5% have been through a divorce.
Ridgefield Park became a successful manufacturing town in the middle of the 1800s. Early in the 1900s, a section of the town became an artist’s colony and was known as Grantwood. Even today, some of the street names recall this part of history with Art Lane, Sketch Place and Studio Road. Residents can enjoy all the entertainment and services offered in Ridgefield Park. If they need to travel to other towns, the New Jersey Turnpike runs right through the borough. Other routes pass through the town for commuters as well. For those who prefer not to drive, bus service is an integral part of the community. Several artists made their home in Ridgefield Park, including poets, writers and painters. It’s no wonder that the town was the setting for the popular film, The Wedding Singer starring Adam Sandler.
