About Fair Lawn, NJ
Home to about 35,000 people, the Borough of Fair Lawn sits on the western edge of central Bergen County. From early colonial times when first settled by the Dutch and Irish, Fair Lawn has been mainly a residential community and now serves as a popular NYC suburb. The name "Fair Lawn" is derived from the name of the sprawling estate "Fairlawn," built by a prominent citizen in the 1860s, whose home even served as the municipal building for a time.
