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 13, 2013.〕 Of 565 municipalities statewide, Ridgefield Park is one of only four with a village type of government in New Jersey, though it operates a Walsh Act (City Commission) form of government. Of the four New Jersey villages, only Loch Arbour had retained the village form of government, while Ridgewood operates under the Council-Manager form and the Township of South Orange Village operates under a Special Charter form with many characteristics of village government.〔Cerra, Michael F. ("Forms of Government" ), ''New Jersey Municipalities'' (publication of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities), March 2007. Accessed August 5, 2008.〕 Ridgefield Park was formed as a village on June 15, 1892, within Ridgefield Township, based on the results of a referendum passed on June 6, 1892. Overpeck Township was formed on March 23, 1897, to be coextensive with Ridgefield Park village, and was created within Ridgefield Township for the purpose of administering a Board of Education. Portions of the village were taken gained in both 1921 and 1926 from Bogota and Teaneck. On May 31, 1938, Overpeck Township became Ridgefield Park Township.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 85. Accessed January 29, 2012.〕 The village was named for the area's terrain.〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 26. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed September 21, 2015.〕 The village's Fourth of July Parade, first established in 1894, is said to be the longest continuously celebrated such event in New Jersey and one of the oldest in the country.〔Klein, Alvin; and Emblen, Mary L. (New Jersey Guide ), ''The New York Times'', July 3, 1994. Accessed July 12, 2011. "Ridgefield Park will strike up the band with extra gusto at this year's Fourth of July parade tomorrow because it is the 100th and, the sponsors assert, the longest consecutively produced one in the nation. Residents of the village took seriously the suggestion made years before by John Adams that the nation's citizenry to celebrate independence with parades, fireworks and joyous gatherings. Volunteer committees have put together an observance every year since 1894 in spite of two World Wars, the Great Depression and other distractions."〕 The village eliminated its July 4 fireworks in 2009, citing the $50,000 cost in the face of the difficult economy, but committed to retain its parade.〔Kocieniewski, David. ("Bad Economy Dampens Celebrations for July 4th" ), ''The New York Times'', June 21, 2009. Accessed July 12, 2011. "But in Ridgefield Park, N.J., home of the state’s oldest Fourth of July celebration, village leaders decided this year that because of the exceptionally bleak economic outlook, they could not afford to put on their traditional show, which costs about $50,000. “I’m not going to say it’s a luxury, because fireworks are a very important tradition, and Fourth of July is a very important day,” said Ridgefield Park’s mayor, George D. Fosdick. “But if you’re confronting a situation where you’re afraid you may have to lay people off and cost a family its livelihood, then it’s a decision that you have to make.” Mr. Fosdick said the village would hold the rest of its Independence Day celebration, including its home- and business-decorating contest and two parades."〕 ==Geography== According to the United States Census Bureau, the village had a total area of 1.919 square miles (4.971 km2), including 1.723 square miles (4.464 km2) of land and 0.196 square miles (0.507 km2) of water (10.19%).〔〔 The village borders Bogota, Hackensack, Leonia, Little Ferry, Palisades Park, Ridgefield and Teaneck.〔(Areas touching Ridgefield Park ), MapIt.
