Haworth (/ˈhɑːwərθ, ˈhɔː-/ HAH-wərth, HAW-)[19][20] is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 3,343,[10] a decrease of 39 (−1.2%) from the 2010 census count of 3,382,[21][22] which in turn reflected a decline of 8 (−0.2%) from the 3,390 counted in the 2000 census.[23]

Haworth was formed by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 24, 1904, from portions of both Dumont borough and Harrington Township.[24][25] The borough was named for the historic village of Haworth, England.[26]

In September 2012, Business Insider named Haworth the third-best suburb in America.[27]
