Founded in 1683
Bergen County is the most populous county of the state of New Jersey.
In 1675, Bergen was included in a judicial district with Essex, Monmouth
and Middlesex counties, while the territory was called East Jersey, a proprietary
colony (as opposed to a royal colony). In 1683, Bergen (along with the three other counties) was officially recognized
as an independent county by the Provincial Assembly. At the time of its creation, Bergen County's territory also
included the current territory of Hudson County (formed in
1840), and portions of Passaic County (formed in 1837).
