The area that is now Mahwah was originally formed asHohokus Township on April 9, 1849, from portions of the formerFranklin Township (nowWyckoff). While known as Hohokus Township, territory was taken to formOrvil Township (on January 1, 1886; remainder of township is nowWaldwick),Allendale (November 10, 1894),Upper Saddle River (November 22, 1894), andRamsey (March 10, 1908). On November 7, 1944, the area was incorporated by an act of theNew Jersey Legislature as the Township of Mahwah, based on the results of areferendum held that day, replacing Hohokus Township.[25]New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Mahwah as its ninth best place to live in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.[26]
TheLenape and ancestral Indigenous peoples were the original inhabitants of Mahwah (the meeting place) and surrounding area.
In 1849,Hohokus Township was established from the northern part ofFranklin Township inBergen County. It extended from theSaddle River on the east to the western boundary of Bergen County withPassaic County and north to theNew York border. Hohokus Township was first subdivided in 1886 with the creation ofOrvil Township on both sides of the Saddle River, consisting of the eastern portion of Hohokus Township and the western portion ofWashington Township. 1894's outbreak of "Boroughitis" brought the creation of theboroughs ofAllendale andUpper Saddle River, both of which were created from portions of Hohokus and Orvil Townships. Next to leave wasRamsey, which was created in 1908.
Hohokus Township ceased to exist on November 7, 1944, when a referendum was passed creating Mahwah Township from the remaining portions of Hohokus Township.[27][28][25]
Ford Motor Company operated theMahwah Assembly plant from 1955, producing 6 million cars in the 25 years it operated before the last car rolled off the line on June 20, 1980.[32][33] At the time of its completion, it was the largest motor vehicle assembly plant in the United States. The Ford plant, along with other businesses such as American Brake Shoe and Foundry Company, helped contribute to the economic development of the township and its reputation for low home property taxes.[34] The Mahwah town sports teams remain named Thunderbirds in honor of the Ford plant.
Due to contractors' dumping of hazardous wastes at theRingwood Mines landfill site before federal regulation, it has been designated as an EPASuperfund site which needs extensive environmental cleanup. In 2006, some 600Ramapough Indians filed a mass tort claim against Ford for damages.[35] Mahwah, and the closure of the Ford plant, is mentioned in the opening line of the 1982Bruce Springsteen song "Johnny 99".[36][37]
In July 2017, while holding the position ofBergenCounty prosecutor prior to becomingNew Jersey Attorney General,Gurbir Grewal ordered the Mahwah police departmentnot to enforce a ban on non-New Jersey residents using parks in Mahwah, stating his concern that a ban could lead toanti-Semiticreligious profiling against the growing population ofOrthodox Jews in Mahwah and those visiting from neighboringRockland County,New York.[38] On December 14, 2017, following the advice of legal counsel, the Mahwah council repealed the still-unenforced ban on out-of-state park users, and abandoned an attempt to amend the sign ordinance to bar "other matter" (the lechis) from being affixed to utility poles to form an Orthodox Jewisheruv.[39]
According to theUnited States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 25.88 square miles (67.04 km2), including 25.39 square miles (65.76 km2) of land and 0.49 square miles (1.27 km2) of water (1.90%).[1][2] It is the largest municipality in Bergen County by area, more than 2½ times larger than the next-largest municipality,Paramus, and covering 10.6% of the total area of the entire county.[40]

Mahwah is governed within theFaulkner Act (formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law) under theMayor-Council system of municipal government (Plan B), implemented by direct petition as of July 1, 1984.[81] The township is one of 71 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use this form of government.[82] The governing body is comprised of the Mayor and the seven-member Township Council, with all members electedat-large to staggered four-year terms of office on anon-partisan basis as part of the November general election in even-numbered years. Four council seats are up for vote together and then three seats and the mayoral seat are up for vote together two years later. The legislative powers of the township are exercised by the Township Council.[6][3][83] In September 2010, the township council voted to shift the township's non-partisan elections from May to November, citing increased voter participation and prospective savings of $30,000 associated with supporting each election, with the first November election taking place in 2012.[84]
As of 2023[update], the Mayor of Mahwah is Jim Wysocki, who was elected to succeed John Roth, and whose term of office ends December 31, 2028.[85] Roth had been elected in November 2018 following therecall of the former mayor, William Laforet.[86] Members of the Township Council are Council President Rob Ferguson (2026), Council Vice President Michelle Paz (2028), Janet Ariemma (2026), George Ervin (2028), Ward Donigian (2026), Dave May (2028) and Jonathan Wong (2026).[3][87][88][89][90]
Then-Mayor Bill Laforet faced a recall election in November 2018, after a resident group submitted in June a list of 5,000 petition signatures that they had collected calling for the action, in excess of the 25% needed to place the measure in front of voters.[91] In the November 2018 general election, Laforet was recalled from office and John Roth was elected mayor. The successful recall was the first in the county for at least 25 years.[92]
Michelle Paz, a Republican, was appointed to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that was vacated following the resignation of Steven Sbarra that became effective at the end of December 2017, and was elected in her own right in November 2018 to fill the unexpired term.[93]
At the January 2017 reorganization meeting, David May was sworn in to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that had been won by Jonathan Marcus in the November 2016 general election, but which Marcus decided not to accept; May was elected in his own right in the November 2017 general election, to serve the balance of the term.[94]
In December 2016, the Township Council selected George Ervin to fill the seat that had been held by Mary Amoroso expiring in December 2018 that became vacant after she was elected the Bergen County Board of Chosen Freeholders; Ervin served on an interim basis until the November 2017 general election, when voters elected him in his own right to fill the balance of the term.[95] Ervin was re-elected in the November 2018 election to fill a full four-year term, expiring in 2022.

Martel, then a township council member, who served for 14 years until his own death, of natural causes, on March 7, 2011.[97] Martel himself was succeeded by Council President John DaPuzzo as acting mayor.[98]

TheMahwah Township Public Schools provides public education for students inpre-kindergarten throughtwelfth grade.[149] As of the 2019–20 school year, the district, comprised of six schools, had an enrollment of 2,913 students and 262.6 classroom teachers (on anFTE basis), for astudent–teacher ratio of 11.1:1.[150] Schools in the district, with 2019–20 enrollment data from theNational Center for Education Statistics,[151] areLenape Meadows Elementary School[152] with 328 students in grades Pre-K–3,Betsy Ross Elementary School[153] with 241 students in grades K–3,George Washington Elementary School[154] with 189 students in grades K–3,Joyce Kilmer Elementary School[155] with 414 students in grades 4–5,Ramapo Ridge Middle School[156] with 685 students in grades 6–8 andMahwah High School[157] with 900 students in grades 9–12.[158][159][160]
The district's newest building, Lenape Meadows, was opened in 2002 and changed the way the district divided up grade levels. Since the K–3 grades are broken up by location in the township which determines the elementary school to attend, before Lenape Meadows was built, students of that section of town attended Commodore Perry School. Commodore Perry School, Betsy Ross, and George Washington originally only housed the K–2 grades and the entire 3rd grade class attended Joyce Kilmer. The construction of Lenape Meadows added enough room for 3rd grade students as well, allowing Betsy Ross and George Washington room to house their students for 3rd grade, too.[citation needed]
