Teterboro (/ˈtiːtərbəroʊ/ TEE-tər-bər-oh) is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 61,[11] a decrease of 6 (−9.0%) from the 2010 census count of 67,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 49 (+272.2%) from the 18 counted in the 2000 census.[22] After being ranked as the fourth-smallest municipality, by population, in New Jersey through the 2010 census,[23] the borough is the third-smallest since the merger of Pine Valley into Pine Hill in 2022.[24]

Teterboro is the home of Teterboro Airport (operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey) which takes up a majority of the borough, as well as portions of Hasbrouck Heights and Moonachie.[25]

History[edit]

Teterboro was incorporated on March 26, 1917, from land that was originally part of the boroughs of Moonachie, Little Ferry and Lodi Township. The borough was enlarged on July 5, 1918, by the addition of an area annexed from Hasbrouck Heights. The borough was named for Walter C. Teter, a New York investment banker, who had purchased land in 1917 to build a racetrack and developed a 700-acre (280 ha) site, reclaiming marshland and building an airport and an 18-hole golf course.[26][27] The name Teterboro was changed on April 14, 1937, to Bendix Borough, but reverted to Teterboro Borough on June 1, 1943.[28] In 1951, Vera Martucci became the first woman to be elected mayor of the town.[29]

Throughout the borough's history, neighboring municipalities, such as Hasbrouck Heights and South Hackensack, have made repeated attempts to dissolve Teterboro, in hopes of absorbing the borough's ratables (the value of land and buildings which are assessed for property taxes). Some have argued that the population is too small for the borough to justify its own existence. However, all such attempts have met with failure. In July 2010, a bill was introduced in the New Jersey state senate in a renewed effort to divide Teterboro among neighboring towns.[30] The bill, sponsored by Senator Robert M. Gordon and Assemblypersons Connie Wagner and Vincent Prieto, stalled in the state Legislature after its introduction, due to opposition from borough officials, residents, business and land owners, and the neighboring municipalities of Moonachie and Hasbrouck Heights.[31] Legislators attempted to include a 20-year tax abatement within the bill to alleviate the concerns of Teterboro business and property owners who were concerned that taxes could spike if the borough was dissolved. The legality of such an abatement was also called into question.[32]

Geography[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.11 square miles (2.88 km2), including 1.11 square miles (2.87 km2) of land and <0.01 square miles (0.01 km2) of water (0.36%).[1][2]

The borough borders the Bergen County municipalities of Hackensack, Hasbrouck Heights, Little Ferry, Moonachie and South Hackensack.[33][34][35]

Of all households, 32.0% were made up of individuals and 20.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.68 and the average family size was 3.85.[20]

23.9% of the population were under the age of 18, 6.0% from 18 to 24, 23.9% from 25 to 44, 32.8% from 45 to 64, and 13.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 43.5 years. For every 100 females, the population had 86.1 males. For every 100 females ages 18 and older there were 96.2 males.[20]

The Census Bureau's 2006–2010 American Community Survey showed that (in 2010 inflation-adjusted dollars) median household income was $78,571 (with a margin of error of +/− $31,104) and the median family income was $79,107 (+/− $46,857). Males had a median income of $72,031 (+/− $9,149) versus $24,286 (+/− $75,310) for females. The per capita income for the borough was $32,446 (+/− $14,230). About none of families and 13.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including none of those under age 18 and 100.0% of those age 65 or over.[43]

Same-sex couples headed no households in either 2010 or 2000.[44]

2000 census[edit]

As of the 2000 United States census[17] there were 18 people, 7 households, and 4 families residing in the borough. The population density was 16.2 people per square mile (6.3/km2). There were 8 housing units at an average density of 7.2 per square mile (2.8/km2). The racial makeup of the borough was 83.33% White, and 16.67% from two or more races.[41][42]

There were 7 households, out of which 42.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 42.9% were married couples living together, 28.6% had a female householder with no husband present, and 28.6% were non-families. 14.3% of all households were made up of individuals, and 14.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.57 and the average family size was 3.00.[41][42]

In the borough the population was spread out, with 33.3% under the age of 18, 5.6% from 18 to 24, 50.0% from 25 to 44, 5.6% from 45 to 64, and 5.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 33 years. For every 100 females, there were 100.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 100.0 males.[41][42]

The median income for a household in the borough was $44,167, and the median income for a family was $43,750. Males had a median income of $18,750 versus $38,750 for females. The per capita income for the borough was $72,613. None of the population or families were below the poverty line.[41][42]

Borough officials stated that the 2000 census had failed to count any of the residents of the Vincent Place housing units who had moved into the newly built homes in 1999.[45] The uncounted residents, including the Mayor and all four council members, would help account for a projected tripling of the population enumerated by the census.[46] Previously, the Mayor and Council, as well as several other Vincent Place residents, had all been residents of Huyler Street, the only other street zoned as a residential area in the borough. In a March 2010 article, published in The Record, Teterboro's municipal manager at the time noted that the actual population of the town had grown to approximately 60.[47]

Local government[edit]

Teterboro is governed under the 1923 Municipal Manager Law form of New Jersey municipal government.

From 2012 through 2015, Moonachie had patrolled the southern portion of the borough, while the northern portion was covered by the Bergen County Police Department.[53]

In 2018, the borough had an average property tax bill of $2,059, the lowest in the county, compared to an average bill of $11,780 in Bergen County and $8,767 statewide.[54][55]
