Small-town vibe with urban amenities
Shaped like a heart hugging the Passaic River, Wallington is a largely residential borough on the western edge of Bergen County, 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan. The borough’s shape matches the small-town vibe found in its local businesses and annual celebrations. “It’s a tight-knit community with a ton of local events and plenty of ways to get to the city,” says Sharon Robie, a Realtor with Modern Realty Group, who was born and raised in Wallington. The borough was mainly a farming community before its official establishment in 1894. Major flood damage occurred during the Great Passaic Floods of 1902 and 1903, which resulted in 25 percent of the neighborhood being covered with several feet of water. Rebuilding commenced quickly, and Wallington continued to grow in population throughout the 20th century. Today, the borough retains its mostly residential character.
