History

Ho-Ho-Kus is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. Ho-Ho-Kus is unique and special. With access to the 3 metropolitan airports, it is dissected by Route 17, has direct train & bus service to NYC, is a few minutes from the NY State Thruway, and has the Garden State Parkway in its backyard. However, the prime location and the transportation conveniences do not diminish or interfere with the serene, halcyon atmosphere evident throughout the town. It is residential in nature, has no major industries, but does have several professional offices, attractive stores, & businesses. Its development began as a community in the 1700's when homes were built and farms were cultivated. As time progressed, and by 1725, one could find the existence of a church formed under the name "Low Dutch Reformed Church," and due to the insistence of the sturdy Dutch influence, a school was started as well. As of the 2010 census, the borough's population was 4,078, reflecting an increase of 18 (+0.4%) from the 4,060 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 125 (+3.2%) from the 3,935 counted in the 1990 Census. The borough is the home of several historical landmarks, including the Ho-Ho-Kus Inn and The Hermitage.
 
Ho-Ho-Kus was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on October 12, 1908, from what had originally been the borough of Orvil, which was in turn created on March 8, 1905, from portions of Orvil Township.
