Haledon (/heɪldən/ HAIL-don[19][20][self-published source]) 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 9,052,[9][10] an increase of 734 (+8.8%) from the 2010 census count of 8,318,[21][22] which in turn reflected an increase of 66 (+0.8%) from the 8,252 counted in the 2000 census.[23]
