About Closter, NJ

Located in northeast Bergen County, the Borough of Closter is home to approximately 8600 people. First settled by the Dutch in the early 1700s, Closter derives its name from the Dutch word for "cloister." Today, this suburban community's Dutch roots can still be found in the small-town charm it offers its residents, even in the midst of the urban sprawl of the NYC suburbs.
