Elmwood Park is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, and is a bedroom suburb located 14 miles (23 km) from New York City.[22] As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 21,422,[12][13] an increase of 2,019 (+10.4%) from the 2010 census count of 19,403,[23][24] which in turn reflected an increase of 478 (+2.5%) from the 18,925 counted in the 2000 census.[25]

Prior to 1916, the area was known as Dundee Lake, a section of Saddle River Township.[4] Residents of the Dundee Lake area voted on April 18, 1916, to secede from Saddle River Township to form the Borough of East Paterson.[3] In 1917, residents of the Rosemont section of Saddle River Township voted to be annexed to East Paterson.[4] In November 1972, residents voted to change the name of the borough to Elmwood Park. The new name became official on January 1, 1973.[4]

Elmwood Park, being located in Bergen County, has strict blue laws, which require most businesses to be closed on Sunday.[26]

"Bergen County's blue laws — the rules that keep most of the county's stores closed on Sundays — are being scrutinized for signs of weakness by groups that believe the time is right to repeal them.... Bergen County is the last county in the state to retain blue laws, which prohibit sales of certain goods on Sundays, and keep all of the county's department stores and malls closed, with the exception of mall restaurants and movie theaters."
