The Township of Saddle Brook is located in Bergen County, New Jersey just 8 miles West of New York City. Saddle Brook is a small suburban community with a population of approximately 13,155 (2000 census)  covering an area of approximately 2.69 square miles. The majority of the Township is residential, however, it is a central transportation hub as it is intersected by the Garden State Parkway (exit 159), Interstate Route 80 (exit 62), and State Highway 46. In addition, State Highways 4 and 17 are within a quarter mile of its border. Even with the large influx of daily traffic, Saddle Brook still has that small town feel to it.  Click here for the historical story of Saddle Brook from its very humble beginnings.

The government is a party system under the Faulkner Act run by a Mayor and five (5) Council people. The Emergency Services delivered to the residents consist of a full-time paid Police Department and Department of Public Works and a volunteer fire department and ambulance corps.
