Lodi (/ˈloʊdaɪ/; LOH-dye) 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 26,207,[10][11] an increase of 2,070 (+8.6%) from the 2010 census count of 24,136,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 165 (+0.7%) from the 23,971 counted in the 2000 census.[22]

Lodi owes its name to the Italian city of Lodi, Lombardy.[23][24][25] It was incorporated as a borough on December 22, 1894, from portions of the now-defunct municipalities of Lodi Township (now South Hackensack) and Saddle River Township (now Saddle Brook), at the height of Bergen County's "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, based on the results of a referendum held on the previous day.[26][27]

This form is the early predecessor to the Faulkner Act’s Council-Manager form and is reflective of the progressive effort to bring a more businesslike, professional approach to local government.... By law, a municipality can adopt through a referendum, a three, five or seven-member council, elected at large in nonpartisan elections. The mayor is selected from the council but the duties associated with the title are essentially limited to presiding over and voting with the council and a handful of appointments. "
