Passaic County (/pəˈseɪ.ɪk/ pə-SAY-ik) is a county in the U.S. state of New Jersey that is part of the New York metropolitan area.

As of the 2010 census, the population was 501,226,[3] an increase of 12,177 (+2.5%) from the 489,049 counted in the 2000 Census,[4][5][6] As of the 2019 Census estimate, the county's population was 501,826, making it the state's ninth-most populous county,[7][8][9] and marking an increase of 2.3% from 2010.[3] Its county seat is Paterson.[2] The most populous place was Paterson, with 146,199 residents at the time of the 2010 Census, more than 29% of the county's population, while West Milford covered 80.32 square miles (208.0 km2), the largest total area of any municipality and more than 40% of the county's area.[6]

Passaic County was created on February 7, 1837, from portions of Bergen County and Essex County.[1]

Geography[]

The landscape of Passaic County, near the north edge of New Jersey, spans some hilly areas and has dozens of lakes. The county covers a region about 30 × 20 miles wide (48 × 32 km). The region is split by major roads, including portions of Interstate 287 and I-80, near Paterson. The Garden State Parkway (GSP) cuts across the southern end, near Clifton. The Passaic River winds northeast past Totowa into Paterson, where the river then turns south to Passaic town, on the way to Newark, further south.

The highest point is any one of six areas on Bearfort Ridge in West Milford at approximately 1,480 feet (450 m) above sea level.[10] The lowest elevation is approximately 20 feet (6.1 m) along the Passaic River in Clifton.[citation needed]

The southeastern, more populous half of the county is either flat near the river or mildly hilly. The northwestern section is rugged and mountainous.

According to the 2010 Census, the county had a total area of 197.10 square miles (510.5 km2), including 184.59 square miles (478.1 km2) of land (93.7%) and 12.51 square miles (32.4 km2) of water (6.35%).[6][11]
