Hawthorne is a borough in Passaic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 19,637,[10][11] an increase of 846 (+4.5%) from the 2010 census count of 18,791,[19][20] which in turn reflected an increase of 573 (+3.1%) from the 18,218 counted in the 2000 census.[21]

Hawthorne was originally part of the now-defunct Manchester Township, which was later subdivided to create Hawthorne, Haledon, North Haledon, Prospect Park, Totowa, The Heights/Columbia Heights District of Fair Lawn and most of the First Ward of Paterson. The Borough of Hawthorne was incorporated from portions of Manchester Township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 24, 1898.[22] The borough was named for novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne.[23][24]
