Little Falls is a township in Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 census, the township's population was 14,432,[7][8][9] reflecting an increase of 3,577 (+33.0%) from the 10,855 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 439 (-3.9%) from the 11,294 counted in the 1990 Census.[17] It is located about 15 miles (24 km) from New York City.

Little Falls was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 2, 1868, from portions of Acquackanonk Township. On March 25, 1914, portions of the township were taken to form the borough of West Paterson (now Woodland Park).[18] The township was named for a waterfall on the Passaic River at a dam near Beattie Mill.[19][20]

The Morris Canal, once an important artery of trade and transportation between the Delaware and Hudson rivers, wound its way through the town, and vestiges of it still remain.

Government

Local government

Effective January 1, 2005, the form of government in Little Falls was changed by a public referendum to the Mayor-Council form authorized by the Faulkner Act. Under the new government, the voters directly elect the mayor to a four-year term, and the five township council members to four-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either three seats or two seats (together with the mayoral seat) up for election in even years as part of the November general election. For most of its history, Little Falls had been governed under the Township form of government by a township committee consisting of five committee members elected by the voters. Under this system, a chairman (mayor) and deputy-chair (deputy mayor) were selected annually by the Township Committee members.[5]

As of 2015, the Mayor of Little Falls is Republican Darlene Conti, whose term of office ends on December 31, 2016. Members of the Township Council are Council President Louis Fontana (R, 2016), James Belford Damiano (D, 2018), William "Bill" Liess (D, 2018), Joseph Maceri (R, 2018) and Pam Porter (R, 2016).[41][42][43][44][45][46]

Post (who returned to using her maiden name of Conti as of January 2015[47]) won election to a full four-year term as mayor in the 2012 general election, along with all three of her Republican running mates for Township Council; Louis Fontana, Pamela Porter and Joseph Rento (who won the balance of an unexpired term of office).[48]

New Jersey's Eleventh Congressional District is represented by Rodney Frelinghuysen (R, Harding Township).[53] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Cory Booker (D, Newark, term ends 2021)[54] and Bob Menendez (D, Paramus, 2019).[55][56]

The 40th District of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by Kevin J. O'Toole (R, Cedar Grove) and in the General Assembly by Scott Rumana (R, Wayne) and David C. Russo (R, Ridgewood).[57] The Governor of New Jersey is Chris Christie (R, Mendham Township).[58] The Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey is Kim Guadagno (R, Monmouth Beach).[59]

Passaic County is governed by a seven-member Board of Chosen Freeholders, 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.[60] As of 2015, Passaic County's Freeholders are Freeholder Director Hector C. Lora (D, term ends December 31, 2015; Passaic),[61] Freeholder Deputy Director Bruce James (D, 2017; Clifton),[62] John W. Bartlett (D, 2015; Wayne),[63] Theodore O.
