Emerson is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, a suburb in the New York City metropolitan area. Emerson is the most southern municipality in an area of the county known as the Pascack Valley. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 7,290,[11][12] a decrease of 111 (−1.5%) from the 2010 census count of 7,401,[21][22] which in turn reflected an increase of 204 (+2.8%) from the 7,197 counted in the 2000 census.[23]
What is now Emerson was originally formed on April 8, 1903, from portions of Washington Township as the Borough of Etna, the name of a railroad station in the community.[24] The name was changed to Emerson as of March 9, 1909.[3][25] The name came from author Ralph Waldo Emerson.[26][27] The borough calls itself "The Family Town".[28]
