Pompton Lakes spans 3.16 square miles of territory, including 2.89 square miles of land and 0.27 square miles of water surface area.

Dutch settlers established farms in the 1680s after purchasing land from Lenape Native Americans, later building an ironworks that produced munitions for the Revolutionary War.

The borough manages six municipal parks and coordinates youth sports programs with neighboring Riverdale, strengthening connections between both communities through recreational activities.

Residents can access the Online Construction Portal for inspections and resources, eliminating the need to visit municipal offices for administrative procedures.

Three rivers intersect within the borough boundaries - the Ramapo, Pequannock, and Wanaque - which historically provided power for industrial operations.
