Mahwah, Township in Bergen County, United States.
Mahwah extends over 26 square miles of land in northern New Jersey, containing both residential neighborhoods and natural landscapes at 75 meters elevation.
The area transformed from Hohokus Township in 1849 to its current designation as Mahwah Township through a legislative act in 1944.
The name originates from the Lenape word mawewi, reflecting the location's function as an intersection of paths for Indigenous peoples.
The municipality maintains six public schools providing education from pre-kindergarten through grade twelve for local residents.
From 1955 to 1980, the Ford Motor Company operated the largest automotive assembly plant in the United States within Mahwah's boundaries.
