This Day in History: 1911-01-06
The Census Bureau announced that Bergen County is now the State’s sixth largest county in population. It has grown 40%, more than any other county in the past 5 years. It now ranks below only Hudson, Essex, Passaic, Camden, and Union counties. It is expected to surpass all but Essex and Hudson by 1920. Only the lack of manufacturing puts it behind Passaic County. The figures; 1905: 100,003; 1910: 138,002 (1980: 845,385, only exceeded by Essex County.). (NJ Legislative Manual, 1983)
