Bloomfield

Bloomfield is a township in Essex County, New Jersey, comprising residential neighborhoods and business districts spread across multiple square miles. The administrative center provides essential public services to its residents.

The township was established in 1812 and evolved from a rural settlement into an urban administrative center over nearly two centuries. Its government structure expanded to meet the changing needs of the growing population.

The township serves as a community hub where residents gather for local events and public meetings throughout the year. These gatherings bring together people from different neighborhoods to share in civic life.

Residents can visit Town Hall during business hours for administrative matters and permit applications. Emergency services operate continuously and can be reached through standard emergency channels at any time.

The township uses a hybrid approach combining full-time professional staff with trained volunteers for emergency response and rescue services. This model allows for rapid reaction across the entire community at all hours.
