As of the 2010 United States Census, the city's population was 30,487,〔〔〔 reflecting an increase of 701 (+2.4%) from the 29,786 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 3,059 (+11.4%) from the 26,727 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 March 5, 2013.〕 Garfield is one of the most contaminated locations in the United States due to chromium water contamination from a spill at the E.C. Electroplating Corporation site.〔(Garfield Chromium Ground Water Contamination ), United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Accessed March 16, 2015.〕 When the area that is now Garfield was first developed in 1873, it was known as ''East Passaic''. In 1881, the community's name was changed to Garfield in honor of President of the United States James Garfield.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 31, 2015.〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 198. United States Government Printing Office, 1905.

Accessed August 31, 2015.〕 There are two explanations given for the circumstances behind the renaming, According to one, shortly after Garfield was elected to the presidency the founder of East Passaic said, "tell everyone...don’t speak of East Passaic anymore; call it 'Garfield' after the man who will lead this great country to prosperity." Seven months later, President Garfield was assassinated but his name remained with the community.〔(Garfield History ), Accessed June 30, 2011. "The founder of Garfield said, 'tell everyone...don’t speak of East Passaic anymore, call it 'Garfield' after the man who will lead this great country to prosperity.' Unfortunately, seven months later President Garfield was assassinated but his name would live on in this great city."〕 The second theory holds that after Garfield's death in 1881, a new train station was named in his honor, which in turn led to the surrounding area becoming associated with his name as well.〔(History of Garfield ), City of Garfield. Accessed August 21, 2007. "Gilbert D. Bogart is often credited as having been the founder of "modern day" Garfield. When seven houses were constructed in 1873 between Monroe Street and Van Winkle Avenue, the area became known as "East Passaic"....In 1881, a railroad shortcut, the Bergen County Railroad, was laid and a station built and called Garfield after President James A. Garfield who died that year."〕 Garfield was originally incorporated as a borough on March 15, 1898, from portions of Saddle River Township and Wallington. At the time, the New Jersey Legislature set Garfield's boundaries as they exist today. On April 19, 1917, the borough became the City of Garfield, based on the results of a referendum held two days earlier.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 78. Accessed October 25, 2012.〕 ==Geography== According to the United States Census Bureau, the city had a total area of 2.160 square miles (5.594 km2), including 2.099 square miles (5.436 km2) of land and 0.061 square miles (0.158 km2) of water (2.82%).〔〔 Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Belmont, Bogart Heights, Dundee Dam and Plauderville.〔(Locality Search ), State of New Jersey. Accessed May 21, 2015.〕 The city has land borders with adjacent Elmwood Park, Lodi, Saddle Brook and South Hackensack. The Saddle River is a shared border with Wallington. There are three bridges over the Passaic River crossing the municipal and county line to Passaic and Clifton in Passaic County.〔(Areas touching Garfield ), MapIt.
