BERGEN COUNTY
Hackensack County Seat • New Jersey
Bergen County founded in 1683
The name of the county has been debated over the years. Some sources say that the name is derived from one of the earliest settlers of New Amsterdam (now New York City), Hans Hansen Bergen, a native of Norway, who arrived in New Netherland in 1633.
In 1683, Bergen (along with the three other original counties of East Jersey) was officially recognized as an independent county by the Provincial Assembly. In 1837, Passaic County was formed from parts of Bergen and Essex counties. In 1840, Hudson County was formed from Bergen. These two divisions took roughly 13,000 residents from the county’s rolls.
Given its location as a suburban extension of Manhattan across the George Washington Bridge, Bergen County has evolved into a growing demographic with cultural diversity with respect to metrics including nationality, religion, race, and domiciliary partnership.
Bergen County always embraces cultural equality, diversity, inclusion, equity, unity and has many historic business-friendly neighborhoods. Bergen County is rolling out the “Welcome to Bergen County” inspiring welcome mat to new entrepreneurs, new startups, new residents and more value-added Bergen County businesses.
In the spirit of many enterprising early settlers, local Bergen County entrepreneurs have created business opportunities in the area. With the help of local business leaders, the demand for startup ventures and the need for more goods and services has ignited the spirit of business ownership in the Bergen County community.
Business startups in retail sales, clothing, fashion, music, beauty, healthcare, legal, medical services, information technology, restaurants, online sales, cleaning services, beauty salons, barber shops, education technology, and construction are always in demand in a local growing community like Bergen County.
