Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox settlement Clifton is a city in Passaic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Criss-crossed by several major highways, the city is a regional commercial hub for North Jersey and is a bedroom suburb of New York City in the New York Metropolitan Area.[1] As of the 2020 United States Census, the city retained its position as the state's 11th-most-populous municipality, just behind 2020 #10 Trenton, and well ahead of 2020 #12 Cherry Hill,[2] with a population of 90,296,[3][4] reflecting an overall increase of 6,160 (+7.3%) from the 2010 census count of 84,136,[5][6] which in turn reflected an overall increase of 5,464 (+6.9%) from the 78,672 counted in the 2000 census.[7][8] The Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program calculated that the city's population was 88,709 in 2022,[3] reflecting an overall decrease of 1,587 (1.8%) from the 90,296 counted in the 2020 census and ranking the city the 388th-most-populous in the country.[9]

Clifton was incorporated as a city by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 26, 1917, replacing Acquackanonk Township, based on the results of a referendum held two days earlier.[10] Clifton is listed under five different ZIP codes. 07011, 07012, 07013, 07014, and 07015.[11] Clifton has been named as one of the best cities to live in the United States.[12]

History

The city of Clifton turned 100 years old in April 2017, but documented European settlements in the area date back to 1679, when a leader of the Lenape Native Americans gave a deed for Шаблон:Convert along the shores of the Passaic River to Hans Frederick.[13] The modern name of "Clifton" was derived from the cliffs of Garrett Mountain, which borders the Albion Place neighborhood in the western part of the city.[13] Clifton was once an agricultural hub, and home to the U.S. Animal Quarantine Station, which was operated in Clifton by the United States Department of Agriculture, starting in 1903. It was served by the Newark Branch of the Erie–Lackawanna Railroad. It was the primary location on the East Coast where animals from poultry, horses, and cattle, to zoo animals, were held in quarantine after being brought into the United States, to ensure that the animals were not infected with diseases that could be spread in the U.S. The federal station operated in Clifton until the late 1970s, when the facility was relocated to Stewart International Airport.[14]

Although Clifton has long converted from farmlands to suburban neighborhoods, given its close proximity to Manhattan, the city still has three small working farms that sell fresh and organic vegetables in-season:

  • Ploch's Farm is a family-run Шаблон:Convert farm since 1867. The farm is still in operation as Clifton's last remaining farm. Ploch's Farm is open seasonally selling fruits and vegetables during the months of August and September.[15]
  • City Green Farm Eco Center is an organic farm and 501(c)3 non-profit focused on promoting urban farming and education since 2011. The Шаблон:Convert property, which was the site of the Schultheis Farm, was acquired by the city in 2005 for permanent preservation as open space.[16]
  • Richfield Farms is a family-run Шаблон:Convert farm and garden center since 1917, which had escaped redevelopment efforts in 2018.[17]

Geography

Government

Local government

The city of Clifton is governed under the 1923 Municipal Manager Law. The city is one of seven municipalities (of the 564) statewide governed under this form.[38] The governing body is the City Council, which is comprised of seven council members, with all positions elected at-large on a non-partisan basis to concurrent four-terms of office as part of the November general election. The mayor is chosen by the City Council, with the position traditionally given to the top vote getter in the previous election.[39][40] Clifton's municipal elections had been held in May, as required for municipalities conducting non-partisan elections. Following the passage of a state law in 2010 allowing non-partisan elections to be shifted to November, Clifton voters were overwhelmingly in favor of the move in a non-binding referendum held in November 2013. On December 13, 2013, the Clifton City Council voted 6–0, with one abstention, to make the move to November local elections binding, which had the effect of extending the terms of all sitting council members by six months, from June 30 to December 31. Officials cited increased voter participation and reduced costs as the justifications behind supporting the shift.[41]

As of 2023, Clifton's mayor is Raymond Grabowski, whose term of office ends December 31, 2026. He replaced James Anzaldi, who had been one of the members of the City Council since 1978, and was first selected to be mayor in 1990, succeeding two-term mayor Gloria Kolodziej. Anzaldi was the first mayor in Clifton's history to be elected to six terms.[42] The other current members of the City Council are William "Bill" Gibson, Antonio Latona, Joseph Kolodziej, Lauren E. Murphy, Rosemary Pino, and Mary Sadrakula, all of whom are serving concurrent terms of office that end on December 31, 2026.[43][44][45][46][47]

Grabowski's election and Council nomination as mayor ended up being considered the most contentious local political event since 1966, when the then-top vote getter, Bill Bate, the only Democrat on the Council at that time, ended up getting passed over in favor of Joseph Vanecek, as, this time around, Grabowski would only get four of the seven possible votes on the Council, as opposed to Anzaldi, who won most, if not all, of those votes unanimously, in each of his terms, with the other three votes going to newcomer Antonio Latona (Grabowski/Kolodziej/Murphy/Sadrakula voting for Grabowski; Gibson/Latona/Pino, surprisingly, voting for Latona, all despite Gibson reportedly privately considering taking enough of those votes away from Grabowski to become mayor himself as of January 2023, even though Grabowski won at the polls in November 2022 by the final margin of roughly 9,400–8,200).[48]

Vacancies

If at any time a seat becomes vacant on the council, it is filled by special election unless the vacancy occurs during a council election year. In the interim, the council is allowed to appoint an interim councilperson to fill the seat until the election can take place (again, except when the entire council is up for election); common practice is to nominate the eighth-place candidate from the previous election.

The city has done this four times since 1990:

  • In 1992, Councilman George Bayeux died in office. That fall, Richard Stockinger was elected to take his place.[49]
  • Stockinger became the next council member to die in office, succumbing to lung cancer in March 1996. The special election to fill his seat was won by Edward Welsh.[50]
  • In 2006, after the new council was elected, Antonio Latona was disqualified from taking his newly elected office, as it was determined he was involved in a conflict of interest, due to his employment by the city fire department. City policy dictates that the next highest vote getter in the prior election be appointed to fill the vacancy, and thus the seat was filled by former Councilman Matthew Ward, as the candidate with the eighth highest total.[51] The special election to fill that vacancy was held in November 2007, with Ward retaining his seat.[52]
  • In February 2015, just after he was sworn into office for his second term, Councilman Matt Grabowski died from cancer. The council appointed Joseph Cupoli, the highest vote-getter among the previous losing candidates, to fill the seat until the November election. Raymond Grabowski, the councilman's brother, won the special election to serve out the remainder of the term.[53][54][55]

Federal, state and county representation

Clifton is located in the 9th Congressional District,[56] and is part of New Jersey's 27th state legislative district.[57]

Шаблон:NJ Congress 09 Шаблон:NJ Senate

Шаблон:NJ Legislative 27

As of the state legislative elections in November 2023, Clifton will be part of the 27th Legislative District, with both Clifton and Montclair leaving the 34th, and joining Livingston, Millburn, Roseland, and West Orange in Essex County, in that Legislative District;[58] that reapportionment decision represented compromise between state legislators in both parties - the initial Democratic plan would have kept the existing 34th District entirely intact, while the initial Republican plan would have added it to the 40th Legislative District, placing it with some of the longtime Republican-leaning municipalities in that district.[59]

NJ Transit trains at the Clifton station[112] and Delawanna station[113] follow the NJ Transit Main Line to Suffern and Hoboken Terminal.[114] Until 1966, the Newark Branch of the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad served several stations in the town, Athenia (Colfax Avenue) and Allwood.[115] The Newark Branch tracks are now used for freight only, operated by Norfolk Southern.[116]

NJ Transit provides bus service on the 190, 191, 192 and 195 routes to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, to Newark on the 13, 27 and 72 routes, and local service on the 74, 702, 703, 705, 707, 709, 744 routes.[117][118]

DeCamp Bus Lines provided service on the 33 and 66 routes to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, until discontinuing its commuter routes in April 2023.[119]
