Wallington

Though only covering a single square mile on the western border of southern Bergen County, New Jersey, the borough is home to 11,592 residents. It is unique in that the boundaries that delineate the community form a heart shape. Its population has experienced minor dips and surges, but has largely remained the same since the 1990s. Passaic, the nearest city of over 50,000, is just over a mile to the northwest of Wallington, which in turn lies about fourteen miles northwest of New York City. Wood-Ridge, Rutherford, East Rutherford, Carlstadt, Garfield, Hasbrouck Heights and Lodi are all nearby communities. Over 36% of the town's citizens have moved here from other countries, primarily from Europe. Native citizens also hail mainly from Europe, tracing their roots to Polish, Italian, Irish, German, Arabian and local origin. Just under a quarter of the area's inhabitants have earned a bachelor's or higher degree. A little over 8% are divorced, and just over half of the population is currently wed.

Residents can enjoy spending time outdoors in Wallington at Samuel Nelkin County Park which features a playground, dog park and picnic areas. It also has a shallow pond for those who enjoy fishing. Sporting fields and tennis courts entice many locals for an afternoon game. On cold days, residents can take their fun inside Bowlero Wallington, a bowling alley that also has an arcade, restaurant and bar. Bus service provides easy access to other boroughs for those who want to venture outside Wallington. Three-fourths of the residents choose to drive to work rather than carpool or use public transportation. The most common industries in this borough are blue collar jobs in construction, manufacturing and transportation. With an elementary, middle and high school located in Wallington, education jobs are also available. There are seven colleges and community colleges located within ten miles of the borough, and it has its own library with the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library.
