Carlstadt is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 6,372,[11][12] an increase of 245 (+4.0%) from the 2010 census count of 6,127,[21][22] which in turn reflected an increase of 210 (+3.5%) from the 5,917 counted in the 2000 census.[23]

Carlstadt was originally formed as a village by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 12, 1860, within Lodi Township. Most sources indicate that the community was named for Carl Klein, the leader of a group of early German settlers who led the project to establish the community[24][25] though Henry Gannett stated that the name derived from the city of Karlovac in Croatia, which was known as "Carlstadt" in German.[26] The Borough of Carlstadt was incorporated on June 27, 1894, formally set off from Bergen Township.[27][28] 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.[29]

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 4.21 square miles (10.90 km2), including 3.95 square miles (10.22 km2) of land and 0.26 square miles (0.67 km2) of water (6.18%).[1][2]

Carlstadt is bordered on the south by East Rutherford in Bergen County, Secaucus and North Bergen in Hudson County, on the north by Wood-Ridge and Moonachie (Bergen) to the east by Ridgefield and South Hackensack (Bergen), and to the northwest by Wallington (Bergen).[30][31][32] The borough is approximately 8 miles (13 km) northwest of New York City and 95 miles (153 km) northeast of Philadelphia.

Local government

[edit]
Carlstadt Memorial Municipal Building

Carlstadt 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.[46] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes 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.[8] The borough form of government 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.[47][48]

As of 2024, the mayor of Carlstadt is Republican Robert J. Zimmermann, whose term of office ends December 31, 2027. Members of the Borough Council are Diane DeBiase (R, 2024), Joseph T. Emerson (R, 2026), Suzanne M. Fonseca (R, 2025), James A. Lenoy (R, 2026), William J. Roseman (R, 2024) and David A. Stoltz (R, 2025).[3][49][50][51][52][53]

In January 2014, Joseph Emerson was appointed from among three nominees offered to fill the vacant seat of Dennis Ritchie that was scheduled to expire in December 2014.[54]

Carlstadt and Wallington share a municipal court, which meets in Carlstadt.[55]

Bergen County is governed by a directly elected County Executive, with legislative functions performed by a Board of County Commissioners composed of seven members who are elected at-large to three-year terms in partisan elections on a staggered basis, with either two or three seats coming up for election each November; a Chairman and Vice Chairman are selected from among its seven members at a reorganization meeting held every January. As of 2024, the county executive is James J. Tedesco III (D, Paramus), whose four-year term of office ends December 31, 2026.[66]
