Nestled in the scenic hills of Passaic County, Wanaque offers a peaceful setting while maintaining convenient access to major metropolitan areas. The borough features the stunning Wanaque Reservoir and surrounding woodlands, creating a backdrop of natural beauty. The name "Wanaque," derived from a Lenni Lenape Native American word meaning "land of sassafras," reflects the area's history dating back to its incorporation in 1918 when it split from Pompton Township.
Spanning just over 9 square miles with a population of approximately 11,300 residents, Wanaque encompasses two distinct sections - Wanaque proper and Haskell - each with its own post office. The borough provides easy access to Interstate 287, connecting residents to northern New Jersey and New York City. While rental prices for one-bedroom apartments average around $2,300, residents appreciate the proximity to shopping destinations and outdoor recreation areas throughout the Ramapo Mountains and local lakes.
