Ridgefield Park is a village in southeastern Bergen County along the Hackensack River. It is one of the few New Jersey municipalities that retains the village form of government. Main Street serves as the traditional commercial center, surrounded by older homes, apartment buildings, schools, parks, houses of worship, and civic facilities. Interstate 95, the New Jersey Turnpike, Route 46, and nearby Route 80 provide extensive regional access toward New York City, Newark, Hackensack, and the Meadowlands. Industrial and warehouse properties are concentrated near the river and major highway corridors. The community developed around river crossings, railroads, and manufacturing, and many historic residential streets remain visible today. Ridgefield Park borders Teaneck, Bogota, Little Ferry, Ridgefield, and South Hackensack. Its compact downtown, riverfront geography, and exceptional highway connections give it a distinct identity within the densely developed southeastern part of Bergen County.
