Passaic County, County administrative region in northern New Jersey, United States.
Passaic County extends across 510 square kilometers of land, containing both flat urban areas and mountainous regions in the New Jersey Highlands.
The county formed on February 7, 1837, when portions of Bergen and Essex counties merged to create a new administrative territory.
The Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park preserves the region's industrial heritage, featuring a 77-foot natural waterfall that powered early manufacturing.
The county maintains extensive transportation networks, including New Jersey Transit stations and major highways like Interstate 80 and Route 23.
Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson stands as one of two remaining baseball venues from the Negro National League era of the 1930s and 1940s.
