Hackensack
Hackensack is a city in Bergen County, New Jersey. It is the county seat, and a center of government, legal activity, and commerce in the region. Headquarters for The Record, a major newspaper published for the North Jersey region is in town.
Hackensack is also notable for the eponymous Hackensack River where it flows almost parallel with the Hudson River for approximately 45 miles. Once regarded as extremely polluted, cleaning and conservation efforts in recent years have improved the status of the river.
Hackensack's central location within Bergen county make it the perfect place to stay for anyone wanting to explore the region.
Get in
Hackensack is easily accessible by car, bus, train, or even plane. Teterboro Airport, less than 3 miles away from Hackensack, serves smaller planes. Additionally, larger airports such as Newark International are close by. Numerous bus lines will get you to Hackensack from different places, including New York City.
Get around
As with most cities and most places in urban and suburban New Jersey, traffic is a problem, but avoiding rush hour makes all the difference. Anyone visiting should also make note that flooding is a major problem in Hackensack (and many surrounding towns, especially in Southern Bergen). Just 15 minutes of steady downpour will make some roads flood, and a few hours of steady rain will surely make many roads impassable, especially River Street. If you can avoid driving while it's raining or flooded, please do. If not, try to use roads on higher ground towards Summit Avenue.
