Bloomingdale is home to four membership lake communities including Glen Wild Lake, Lake Iosco, Kampfe Lake, and Morse Lakes; a suburban neighborhood featuring an upper and lower lake.[23][24]

History

edit

Bloomingdale's Federal Hill was the site of the 1781 Pompton Mutiny, a winter revolt of Continental Army troops that was crushed by General Robert Howe on direct orders of General George Washington.[25]

Growth in Bloomingdale was driven by the development in the late 1860s of a rubber mill and other factories in neighboring Butler. The New Jersey Midland Railroad, later known as the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway, laid tracks adjacent to the settlement, with a Bloomingdale station located in what today is Riverdale. The northern section of Riverdale and most of Butler were known as East Bloomingdale and West Bloomingdale respectively during most of the 19th century. Despite crossing a county border, they also shared a school district and residents considered the whole area as "Bloomingdale" until about 1881 when a Post Office named Butler was designated. This began a period of rivalry which caused a schism between the residents of Butler and Bloomingdale resulting in separate schools, churches and even town bands.

Bloomingdale was incorporated as an independent borough on February 23, 1918, when Pompton Township was split up into three new municipalities along with Wanaque and Ringwood.[26] Prior to that, the area was known as Bloomingdale throughout the 19th century and was initially a farming community starting about 1712 with the "Bloomingdale Forge" built shortly thereafter to take advantage of the iron in the hills. The business district along the Paterson-Hamburg Turnpike and the Pequannock River began about the middle of the 19th century.

Bloomingdale, like most municipalities in northeastern North Jersey, is a suburb of New York City. Some of the things that still link Bloomingdale to its past are its two churches (Methodist and Baptist), the Samuel R. Donald School (originally built in 1886) and the Bloomingdale Cornet Band continuously active since 1884.

DeLazier Field, used by the Triboro Little League, was the home field for the Minor League Baseball team known as the Bloomingdale Troopers of the North Atlantic League from 1946 to 1948.[27]

The History of Bloomingdale can be found in three separate books published by the borough in 1958, 1968 and 1993. Additionally, more history can be found in microfilmed local newspapers located at the Butler Museum,[28] the Morristown Library,[29] the Paterson Library[30] and the New Jersey State Archives.[31]

Government

edit

Local government

edit

Bloomingdale is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[44] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[7] The borough form of government used by Bloomingdale is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[45][46]

As of 2023, the mayor of the Borough of Bloomingdale is Democrat John D'Amato, whose term of office ends December 31, 2026. Members of the Bloomingdale Borough Council are Council President John Graziano (D, 2024), Dominic Catalano (D, 2025), Richard C. Dellaripa (D, 2025), Dawn R. Hudson (D, 2025), Evelyn M. Schubert (R, 2024) and Peyman "Ray" Yazdi (D, 2023).[3][47][48][49][50][51]

Council President John D’Amato was selected to serve as acting mayor, filling the seat expiring in December 2023 that became vacant following the death of Jonathan Dunleavy in November 2020.[52] In December 2021, after D'Amato was elected as mayor in the November 2021 general election, the borough council selected Dominic Catalano from a list of three candidates nominated by the Democratic municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2023 that had been held by John D'Amato until he stepped down from office after being certified as mayor; Catalano served on an interim basis until the November 2022 general election, when voters chose him to serve the balance of the term.[53][49]

Federal, state, and county representation

edit

Bloomingdale is located in the 5th Congressional District[54] and is part of New Jersey's 26th state legislative district.[55]

For the 2024-2025 session, the 26th legislative district of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by Joseph Pennacchio (R, Rockaway Township) and in the General Assembly by Brian Bergen (R, Denville Township) and Jay Webber (R, Morris Plains).[61]

Passaic County is governed by Board of County Commissioners, composed of seven members who are elected at-large to staggered three-year terms office on a partisan basis, with two or three seats coming up for election each year as part of the November general election in a three-year cycle. At a reorganization meeting held in January, the board selects a Director and Deputy Director from among its members to serve for a one-year term.[62] As of 2024, Passaic County's Commissioners are:

Constitutional officers, elected on a countywide basis are: Clerk Danielle Ireland-Imhof (D, Hawthorne, 2028),[75][76] Acting Sheriff Gary Giardina (D, Wayne, 2024)[77][78] and Surrogate Zoila S. Cassanova (D, Wayne, 2026).[79][80][71]

Highlands protection
