North Caldwell is a borough in northwestern Essex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, and a suburb of New York City. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 6,694,[10][11] an increase of 511 (+8.3%) from the 2010 census count of 6,183,[19][20] which in turn reflected a decline of 1,192 (−16.2%) from the 7,375 counted in the 2000 census.[21]

North Caldwell was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 31, 1898, from portions of Caldwell Township (now known as Fairfield Township).[22] The borough derives its name from Presbyterian minister James Caldwell.[23][24]

New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked North Caldwell as its 10th-best place to live in its 2010 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey, and its third-best place to live in its 2013 ranking.[25][26] In 2017, a Bloomberg analysis ranked North Caldwell the 34th richest town in the United States.[27]
