About Midland Park
Midland Park is a small Bergen County borough of about 7,500 residents in the northwestern part of the county, known for its quiet character and deep Dutch colonial roots. The borough's identity centers on the historic Wortendyke section — named for the 18th-century Wortendyke family — with several National Register stone houses. Godwin Avenue forms the main commercial spine, and the borough offers a small-town feel with quick access to Route 208 and the larger retail corridors nearby.
