Little Falls is a township in Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. The township was named for a waterfall on the Passaic River at a dam near Beattie Mill.[18][19]

As of the 2010 census, the township's population was 14,432,[8][9][10] reflecting an increase of 3,577 (+33.0%) from the 10,855 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 439 (-3.9%) from the 11,294 counted in the 1990 Census.[20]

History

Little Falls traces its first settlement to 1711 when seven Bergen Dutch settlers banded together to begin farming.[21] The Speer Homestead dates from circa 1785 (and may have originally been built in 1680).[22]

The Morris Canal, once an important artery of trade and transportation until 1925 between the Delaware and Hudson rivers, wound its way through the township and vestiges of it still remain,[23] some parts of which are a greenway.[24][25]

Little Falls was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 2, 1868, from portions of Acquackanonk Township. On March 25, 1914, portions of the township were taken to form the borough of West Paterson (now Woodland Park).[26]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 2.810 square miles (7.277 km2), including 2.735 square miles (7.084 km2) of land and 0.075 square miles (0.193 km2) of water (2.65%).[1][2]

Singac (with a 2010 Census population of 3,618[27]) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within Little Falls Township.[28][29][30]

The township has three main sub-divisions. Great Notch is the easternmost part of Little Falls. The downtown area is frequently referred to as "The Center of Town", mainly by longtime residents, and is usually referred to as simply Little Falls. Singac is in the westernmost portion of the township. Much of Singac borders the Passaic River.[31][32]

Little Falls is bordered by the municipalities of Clifton, Totowa, Wayne, Woodland Park in Passaic County; and Cedar Grove, Fairfield and Montclair, North Caldwell in Essex County.[33] It is located about 15 miles (24 km) west of New York City.

Local government

Effective January 1, 2005, the form of government in Little Falls was changed by a public referendum to the Mayor-Council form authorized by the Faulkner Act. Under the new government, the voters directly elect the mayor to a four-year term, and the five township council members to four-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either three seats or two seats (together with the mayoral seat) up for election in even years as part of the November general election. For most of its history, Little Falls had been governed under the Township form of government by a township committee consisting of five committee members elected by the voters. Under this system, a chairman (mayor) and deputy-chair (deputy mayor) were selected annually by the Township Committee members.[3]

As of 2017, the Mayor of Little Falls is Democrat James Belford Damiano, Esq., whose term of office ends on December 31, 2020.

Passaic County is governed by a seven-member Board of Chosen Freeholders, who are elected at-large to staggered three-year terms office on a partisan basis, with two or three seats coming up for election each year as part of the November general election in a three-year cycle. At a reorganization meeting held in January, the board selects a Director and Deputy Director from among its members to serve for a one-year term.[65] As of 2017, Passaic County's Freeholders are Director Cassandra "Sandi" Lazzara (D, 2018; Woodland Park),[66] Deputy Director Bruce James (D, 2017; Clifton),[67] Assad R.
