Bergen County, New Jersey
Bergen County sits in northeast New Jersey, just across the Hudson from New York City. It’s the most populous county in New Jersey, and for good reason. The place has a bit of everything. Bustling downtowns, quiet suburbs, and even some nature spots.
Bergen has a long history, dating back to before the American Revolution. You can still see some of that history today in places like Historic New Bridge Landing. You’ll also find high-end restaurants and local delis so you definitely won’t go hungry.
The county is known for its shopping, with mega-malls like Westfield Garden State Plaza. It’s not all urban though. The Palisades offer great hiking trails and river views. Bergen County has both city and nature with something different around every corner.
