South Hackensack is a township in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 2,701,[9] an increase of 323 (+13.6%) from the 2010 census count of 2,378,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 129 (+5.7%) from the 2,249 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

South Hackensack was formed as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on November 15, 1935, replacing Lodi Township, based on the results of a referendum held November 5, 1935, which passed by a margin of 309 to 15.[21][22] The township's name derives from its location relative to Hackensack.[22]
