Maywood is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 10,080,[10][11] an increase of 525 (+5.5%) from the 2010 census count of 9,555,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 32 (+0.3%) from the 9,523 counted in the 2000 census.[22]

Maywood was incorporated as a borough on June 29, 1894, from portions of Midland Township, based on the results of a referendum held that day.[23] The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone.[24] The borough's name came from the name of a station established in the area by the New Jersey Midland Railroad.[25]
