4 Welcome To The <strong>Meadowlands</strong><br />

Bergen County is a wonderful place to live,<br />

work and raise a family. Nearly one million<br />

residents live in one of our 70 unique and<br />

vibrant municipalities. Our county attracts<br />

thousands of visitors and tourists each day to<br />

our businesses, educational facilities, historical<br />

sites and special events. Our retail shopping<br />

facilities are second to none. Places to visit<br />

include the <strong>Meadowlands</strong>, Steuben House<br />

(home to the Bergen County Historical Society),<br />

Overpeck Park, the Bergen County Zoo<br />

in Van Saun Park and the New Jersey Naval<br />

Museum— to name a few.<br />

As the largest county in New Jersey, Bergen County offers a sizable pool<br />

of diverse, well-educated, highly skilled workers for employers in the region.<br />

Our business community is a thriving mix of Fortune 500 companies and<br />

small businesses alike. My administration is proud to partner with the<br />

<strong>Meadowlands</strong> Chamber and other agencies and organizations to grow our<br />

economy and capitalize on opportunities for public-private partnerships.<br />

We will continue to strive every day to make Bergen County the best place<br />

for our residents, businesses and visitors. This visitor’s guide is a valuable<br />

resource of countywide information for anyone who lives in, works in or visits<br />

Bergen County. Should you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach<br />
