Washington Township, Bergen County, New Jersey

Washington Township, officially the Township of Washington, is a township in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township’s population was 9,102,[9][10][11] reflecting an increase of 164 (+1.8%) from the 8,938 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 307 (−3.3%) from the 9,245 counted in the 1990 Census.[21]

The Lenape Native Americans first inhabited the township and many names throughout the general area were passed down from the Lenape. Pascack and Kinderkamack are just two of these names. However, after Dutch and other European settlers began arriving in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Lenape population was decimated. It is estimated that by 1750, 90% of the Lenape population in and around present-day New Jersey was killed by European settlement through war and European diseases.[22]

Washington Township was created by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 13, 1840, from the territories between the Hackensack River and Saddle River that had been part of Harrington Township.[23] At the time of its creation, the township encompassed an area of 19,525 acres (79.01 km2), more than 30 square miles (78 km2).[24] The township was named for George Washington, one of more than ten communities statewide named for the first president.[25][26] It is one of five municipalities in the state of New Jersey with the name “Washington Township”.[27] Another municipality, Washington Borough, is completely surrounded by Washington Township, Warren County.
