Wanaque (/ˈwɒnəkjuː, wəˈnɑːki/)[19][20][21] is a borough in Passaic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 11,317,[9][10] an increase of 201 (+1.8%) from the 2010 census count of 11,116,[22][23] which in turn reflected an increase of 850 (+8.3%) from the 10,266 counted in the 2000 census.[24]

History

[edit]

Wanaque was incorporated as an independent borough on February 23, 1918, when Pompton Township was split up into three boroughs, along with Bloomingdale and Ringwood, and affirmed by a referendum held on March 22, 1918.[25] The borough's name Wanaque (original pronunciation 'Wa Na Kee') is thought to have been derived from a Lenni Lenape Native American word meaning "land of sassafras".[26][27][28]

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 9.33 square miles (24.15 km2), including 8.07 square miles (20.89 km2) of land and 1.26 square miles (3.26 km2) of water (13.50%).[1][2]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the borough include Haskell, Lake Inez, Lake Washington, Meadow Brook Lake, Midvale, Ramapo Lake, Rotten Pond, Stephens Lake and Upper Midvale.[29]

Both Wanaque (formerly Midvale) and Haskell have their own ZIP Codes and are served by separate post offices.

The borough borders the municipalities of Bloomingdale, Pompton Lakes and Ringwood in Passaic County; and Oakland in Bergen County.[30][31][32]

Law and government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

Wanaque 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.[42] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. The 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.[6] The borough form of government used by Wanaque 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.[43][44]

As of 2023, the mayor of Wanaque Borough is Republican Daniel Mahler, whose term of office ends December 31, 2026. Members of the Borough Council are Thomas Balunis (R, 2024), Dominick Cortellessa (R, 2025), Edward Leonard (R, 2025), Donald Pasquariello (R, 2023), Bridget A. Pasznik (R, 2024), and Robert Pettet (R, 2023).[3][45][46][47][48][49]

Federal, state, and county representation

[edit]

Wanaque is located in the 5th Congressional District[50] and is part of New Jersey's 26th state legislative district.[51]

For the 118th United States Congress, New Jersey's 5th congressional district is represented by Josh Gottheimer (D, Wyckoff).[52][53] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2027)[54] and George Helmy (Mountain Lakes, term ends 2024).[55][56]

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).[57]

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.[58] As of 2024, Passaic County's Commissioners are:

Bruce James (D, Clifton, 2026),[59] Deputy Director Cassandra "Sandi" Lazzara (D, Little Falls, 2024),[60] Director John W. Bartlett (D, Wayne, 2024),[61] Orlando Cruz (D, Paterson, 2026),[62] Terry Duffy (D, West Milford, 2025),[63] Nicolino Gallo (R, Totowa, 2024)[64] and Pasquale "Pat" Lepore (D, Woodland Park, 2025).[65][58][66][67][68][69][70]

Constitutional officers, elected on a countywide basis are: Clerk Danielle Ireland-Imhof (D, Hawthorne, 2028),[71][72] Acting Sheriff Gary Giardina (D, Wayne, 2024)[73][74] and Surrogate Zoila S. Cassanova (D, Wayne, 2026).[75][76][67]

Highlands protection

[edit]

In 2004, the New Jersey Legislature passed the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act, which regulates the New Jersey Highlands region. Wanaque was included in the highlands preservation area and is subject to the rules of the act and the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council, a division of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.[77] Some of the territory in the protected region is classified as being in the highlands preservation area, and thus subject to additional rules.[78]
