As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 8,373,〔〔 reflecting a decline of 10 (-0.1%) from the 8,383 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 289 (+3.6%) from the 8,094 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7.

Accessed June 25, 2012.〕 ==History== The Lenni Lenape Native Americans tilled the soil, hunted in the woods, and fished in the rivers and streams before the Dutch arrived in the early 18th Century. The Dutch settlers, though, left an indelible mark on the area. Early records show that after the English takeover of New Netherland, English Governor Philip Carteret in 1669 granted a real estate speculator named Balthaser De Hart a strip of property which extended east and west from the Hudson River to the Tiena Kill, and north and south from today’s Cresskill into Palisades, New York.〔Budke, George H., Abstracts of early deeds, patents, mortgages and other instruments affecting the land titles of Rockland County, NY. (New City, New York : Library Association of Rockland County, 1975), pp. 165-167.〕 It is within these geographical boundaries that lies what is now known as Closter. The northern half of this tract of land consisting of (extending from what is Closter Dock Road northward) was purchased by Barent and Resolvert Nagel on April 25, 1710,〔April 25, 1710 Deed between Lancaster Symes and Barent and Resolvert Nagel (Early Orange County Deeds, Orange County Court House, Goshen, New York), p. 68〕 who along with the Vervalen family first settled what is now Closter. The name Closter is of Dutch origin and it first appears in 1745, when Arie Arieaense purchased "A certain tract of land lying on Tappan in Orange County and in the province of New York at a certain place called Klooster"〔August 7, 1745 Deed between Coenradus Rouger of Tappan in Orange County, Province of New York (grantor) & Arie Arieaense of the same place (grantee), original document in the Auryansen Family Document Collection〕 (At that time, Closter was considered part of New York State). In the Dutch language, ''Klooster'' means "a quiet place, a monastery or cloister."〔(Translate klooster from Dutch to English ), Interglot. Accessed August 29, 2015.〕 This location in 1710 when the Nagel brothers first settled it was a quiet place, with very few people in the immediate area. The topography gave a sense of isolation and protection, tucked behind the highest point of the Palisades and protected by limited access. Alternatively, sources indicate that the name derives from an early settler named Frederick Closter.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 28, 2015.〕〔Pinto, Jennifer. ("At Home In: Closter" ), ''The Record (Bergen County)'', May 31, 2012. Accessed August 29, 2015. "According to the borough's website, 'It is believed that Closter was named after Frederick Closter, who received a grant of several thousand acres as a military reward from King Charles I of England.'"〕 The name was originally pronounced with a “ow” sound, phonetically, “Klowster.” Later, just before the American Revolution, these isolated settlers began to feel the imposing hand of the British Crown in their lives – not only in governmental affairs but also by the influx of English culture upon their own language and culture. And as a result the “K” in Klooster was dropped and was replaced with a “C” so the now growing village became known as Clooster. By 1795, with the emerging new American culture, the second “o” in Clooster was dropped, and the American English “long o” sound was adopted which led to today’s pronunciation of Closter.〔 Reminders of Closter's early Dutch history abound - with local streets named after some of the early families (Bogert, Demarest, Durie, Naugle, Parsells, Vervalen, Auryansen, Haring, and Westervelt), and a rich collection of unique Jersey Dutch houses.〔(Historic Sites ), Borough of Closter. Accessed June 3, 2014.〕 The arrival of the Northern Branch in 1859,〔(Map of the Northern Rail Road of New Jersey ), Library of Congress. Accessed June 3, 2014.〕 followed by additional train service from what became the West Shore Railroad, brought residents to the community who could commute to Manhattan via the ferry across the Hudson River at the railroad's Weehawken depot.〔 Closter's central location earned it the nickname "Hub of the Northern Valley".〔(History ), Borough of Closter. Accessed July 22, 2011.〕 Closter was formed as an incorporated municipality by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on January 1, 1904, from portions of Harrington Township.
