Ramsey is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is a suburb of New York City, located 26 miles (42 km) northwest of Midtown Manhattan. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 14,798,[10][11] an increase of 325 (+2.2%) from the 2010 census count of 14,473,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 122 (+0.9%) from the 14,351 counted in the 2000 census.[22]
Ramsey was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 10, 1908, from portions of Hohokus Township (whose remnants are now Mahwah Township). Additional territory was annexed from Waldwick in 1921, and portions of the borough were ceded to Saddle River in 1925.[23]
