Alpha is a borough in Warren County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 2,328,[9] a decrease of 41 (−1.7%) from the 2010 census count of 2,369,[18][19] which in turn reflected a decline of 113 (−4.6%) from the 2,482 counted in the 2000 census.[20]
