Oradell is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. At the 2010 United States Census, the borough population was 7,978.[6][12] The borough's territory includes a dam on the Hackensack River that forms the Oradell Reservoir. Oradell is an affluent suburb of New York City, located approximately 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Midtown Manhattan.

Oradell was originally formed on March 8, 1894, as the borough of Delford, from portions of Harrington Township, Midland Township and Palisades Township, at the height of the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County. The name "Delford" was a portmanteau created from the names of two communities within the new borough: Oradell and New Milford.[13] The Hotel Delford had been constructed in 1870 after the construction of the first railroad to reach the area.[14] On November 12, 1920, the borough's name was officially changed to "Oradell", based on the results of a referendum held ten days earlier.[15][16]

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Oradell as the 68th best place to live in New Jersey in its 2010 rankings of the "Top Towns" in the state. This ranking also makes the borough the seventh best place to live in Bergen County.[17]

Geography

Oradell borough is located at 40°57′24″N 74°01′58″W / 40.956651°N 74.032858°W / 40.956651; -74.032858 (40.956651,-74.032858). According to the United States Census Bureau, Oradell borough had a total area of 2.577 square miles (6.673 km2), of which, 2.424 square miles (6.278 km2) of it is land and 0.153 square miles (0.395 km2) of it (5.92%) is water.[18][4]

Oradell Reservoir was formed by the Oradell Reservoir Dam placed on the Hackensack River, which was started in 1921 and finished in 1923. The reservoir is fed by the Pascack Brook and Dwars Kill in addition to the Hackensack River. The Dam has greatly reduced the amount of flooding in the eastern part of Oradell caused by the Hackensack River, though it also resulted in the loss of flora and fauna that depended on the fresh water that flowed down the river.[19] Fed by rain from Hurricane Irene in August 2011, the water level in the reservoir was two feet above the top of the dam, allowing billions of gallons of water to flow over the dam and exacerbating flooding conditions in Oradell and New Milford.[20]
