This Day in History: 1930-05-01
Rutherford Ross, the Supervisor of the Federal Census in New Jersey, issued the preliminary figures for Bergen County. With figures from six municipalities still not in yet, the totals showed a dramatic growth in Bergen’s population since 1920. The total population had grown to 363,279 from 210,703, an increase of 73%. North Arlington had grown 373% and Teaneck showed a 59% growth from 2090 to 3253. Upper Saddle River went from 251 to 347, an increase of 38% & Allendale had a 48% rise to 1728 from 1164. Unfortunately among the missing six municipalities were Oakland, and Hohokus Township, not yet officially called Mahwah. (Bristow)
