As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 8,573,〔〔〔 reflecting an increase of 827 (+10.7%) from the 7,746 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 188 (+2.5%) from the 7,558 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed July 9, 2013.〕 This town got its name from "Cress", referring to the watercress which grew in its streams, and "Kill", referring to the stream passing through.〔Cheslow, Jerry. ("If You're Thinking of Living In/Cresskill; High-Cost Housing, Quality Services" ), ''The New York Times'', October 16, 1994. Accessed January 15, 2012. "NAMED for the watercress that grows along its Tenakill Brook, the two-square-mile Borough of Cresskill is known for its well-maintained, maple-lined streets, low crime rate, quality municipal services and high-priced real estate."〕〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 28, 2015.〕 Cresskill was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on May 8, 1894, from portions of Palisades Township.〔 The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone.〔Harvey, Cornelius Burnham. (''Genealogical History of Hudson and Bergen Counties, New Jersey'' ), p. 11, New Jersey Genealogical Publishing Company, 1900. Accessed September 1, 2013. "For a period of sixteen years following the passage of this act few boroughs were organized in the State, only three of them being in Bergen County.... As it was twenty-six boroughs were in the county from January 23, 1894, to December 18, of the same year."〕 A portion of the borough was annexed by Alpine in 1904.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 80. Accessed October 25, 2012.〕〔''History of Bergen County'', Vol. 1, p. 347.〕 Railroads provided access from Cresskill to customers in New York City, including a chicken hatchery that was the world's largest by 1897.〔 Railroad access helped make Cresskill the home of Camp Merritt, the major debarkation point for more than a million American troops being sent abroad to fight in World War I. A large obelisk memorial (referred to by locals as "The Monument"〔(The Monument in Cresskill ), Borough of Cresskill. Accessed November 10, 2015.〕), or "The Circle Monument" was dedicated in 1924, set in the middle of the Camp Merritt Memorial Circle at the intersection of Madison Avenue and Knickerbocker Road (CR 505), to commemorate the fact.〔Rondinaro, Gene. ("Start-Up Buyer Oasis in Affluent Bergen" ), ''The New York Times'', January 19, 1997. Accessed September 8, 2008. "Utilizing the newly built railroad connections to New York, more than one million American soldiers passed through the camp before it was disbanded in 1920. In 1924, the Camp Merritt Memorial Obelisk at the traffic circle connecting Knickerbocker Road and Madison Avenue -- better known to residents as the Monument -- was dedicated to those troops by Gen. John J. Pershing."〕 ==Geography== According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 2.074 square miles (5.371 km2), including 2.064 square miles (5.345 km2) of land and 0.010 square miles (0.027 km2) of water (0.50%).〔〔 The borough borders Alpine, Bergenfield, Demarest, Dumont and Tenafly.〔(Areas touching Cresskill ), MapIt.
