Saddle River, New Jersey

Saddle River is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is a suburb of New York City, located just over 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Manhattan. The town is known for its natural fields, farmland, forests, and rivers, and has a bucolic atmosphere, due in part to a minimum zoning requirement of 2 acres (0.81 ha) for homes.[20] The borough contains both stately historic homes and estates, as well as newer mansions. It is popular among residents seeking spacious properties in a countryside-like setting, while also having proximity to New York City.

Saddle River is one of the highest-income small municipalities in the United States and was ranked 9th in New Jersey in per capita income as of the 2010 Census.[21] Saddle River was ranked among the Top 100 in Forbes Most Expensive Zip Codes in America in 2010.[22] In 1989, Saddle River was ranked the richest suburb in the nation among those with 2,500 or more people (based on per capita income).[23] The town has been home to notable residents including former US Presidents, celebrities, athletes, and businessmen (See Notable people list).

The New York Times described Saddle River as "a place where one can still keep horses—one per acre—see a deer, listen to the birds, and catch a fish in the trout stream that gives the town its name."[24]

As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 3,372,[11] an increase of 220 (+7.0%) from the 2010 census count of 3,152,[25][26] which in turn reflected a decline of 49 (−1.5%) from the 3,201 counted in the 2000 census.[27]

Saddle River is a dry town, where alcohol cannot be sold.[28][29]

History

European settlement of the area that is now Saddle River traces back to 1675, when the Lenape Native Americans sold a stretch of land along the Saddle River to Albert Zabriskie.[30] Saddle River was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on November 22, 1894, from portions of Orvil Township, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier.[31] The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone. Saddle River's referendum passed on November 19, one day before the referendum passed for the formation of the neighboring borough of Upper Saddle River.[32] An additional portion of Orvil Township was annexed in 1903.[33]

The borough is named after the Saddle River, which flows through the borough and is a tributary of the Passaic River, which in turn was named for a stream and valley in Saddell, Argyll, Scotland.[34][35]

Government

Local government

Saddle River is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[51] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a borough council comprising six council members, on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term. The borough council is comprised of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[3] The borough form of government used by Saddle River is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[52][53] The mayor serves as chief executive officer, and is an ex-officio member of all municipal committees and is the approving authority in the Borough of Saddle River. Mayoral appointments to the various boards and committees in the borough are subject to confirmation by the borough council. Borough council members serve on various operating committees and function in a liaison capacity to provide information and direction to the entire governing body.[54]

As of 2023, the mayor is Republican Albert J. "Al" Kurpis, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023.[4] Members of the Saddle River Borough Council are Council President David B. Hekemian (R, 2025), John V. Azzariti Jr. (R, 2023), Duncan B. Carpenter (R, 2025), Christopher DiGirolamo (R, 2024), Jeffrey S. Liva (R, 2024; elected to serve an unexpired term), and Ravi Sachdev (R, 2023).[54][55][56][57][58][59][60]

In August 2022, the borough council appointed Jeffrey Liva to fill the seat expiring in December 2024 that had been held by Rosario Ruffino until he resigned from office earlier that month in protest over the cost of a park project.[61] Liva served on an interim basis until the November 2022 general election, when he was elected to serve the remainder of the term of office.[57]

John Azzariti and Ravi Sachdev were sworn in to three-year terms by Mayor Albert Kurpis during a combined in-person/remote session in January 2021. Azzariti had been appointed to the council last July after Councilman John DeRosa resigned for professional reasons. However, Azzariti chose to run with Sachdev for two open three-year terms, seats previously held by Paul Schulstad—who resigned in March 2020—and Eric Jensen, who did not seek a new term. Christopher DiGirolamo was elected to serve the one year remaining on DeRosa's term of office.[62]

In March 2020, the borough council appointed Christopher T. DiGirolamo to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that was vacated by Paul Schulstad when he resigned from office earlier that month.[63]

As of 2023, the county executive is James J. Tedesco III (D, Paramus), whose four-year term of office ends December 31, 2026.[74] Bergen County's Commissioners are Chairman Thomas J.

Saddle River leans strongly Republican, both in terms of registration and election results. In 14 of the last 15 presidential elections, Republican candidates have carried Saddle River by margins of greater than 30 points despite their Democratic opponents winning Bergen County in seven of those elections.[112] Bergen County also supported Republican candidates Warren G. Harding in 1920, and Charles Evans Hughes in 1916. However, Progressive Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt won the city in 1912 over New Jersey native Woodrow Wilson, and GOP nominee William Howard Taft.[113][110][111]

Please note that election results from 1928 to 1956 were obtained from newspaper clippings, and may not be official. Third parties were not listed for Saddle River in most of those articles.
