As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough population was 8,373.The population declined by 10 (-0.1%) from the 8,383 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 289 (+3.6%) from the 8,094 counted in the 1990 Census.
Closter, settled in 1704, was formed by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on January 1, 1904, from portions of Harrington Township. On March 29, 1904, Harrington Park was created from portions of Closter, Harrington Township and Washington Township. After the turn of the 20th century, Closter changed from being sprawling estates and farms into a middle and upper middle class suburban town.

History


Closter was inhabited by the Lenape Native Americans. The Dutch arrived in the early 17th century, with records dating back to 1669 showing that Balthaser De Hart was granted a property by Governor Philip Carteret between the Hudson River and the Tiena Kill (perhaps the Tenakill Brook). What is now Closter was part of property between the Hudson and the Hackensack River that was deeded by the Tappan tribe to David Des Marets in 1677. The borough's name is said to derive from Frederick Closter, who was the recipient of a grant from King Charles I of England. The first English language teacher in the town was Benjamin Blackledge (d. 1783).
In November 1776, a farmer from Closter witnessed British troops landing at Closter Dock on the Hudson River and rode to Fort Lee to warn Continental Army General Nathaniel Greene, allowing the Americans the opportunity to retreat to Hackensack at New Bridge Landing ahead of the British along with the remnants of General George Washington's troops after the failed Battle of Fort Washington.[18] It is this unnamed rider who is recognized on the seal of the Borough of Closter.During the American Revolutionary War, no battles took place in present-day Closter, though the residents were seen largely as supporters of the rebels and became the target of British foraging and reprisal raids.
The arrival of the Northern Branch in the late 1850s, followed by additional train service from what became the West Shore Railroad, brought residents to the community who could commute to Manhattan via the ferry across the Hudson River at the railroad's Weehawken depot. Closter's central location earned it the nickname "Hub of the Northern Valley".

While some cameras are hidden, others are visible to make sure potential thieves know that any criminal activity will be on tape. This allows a home or business to have some control over their environment and ward off potential crimes. Companies will install this equipment and may even hire personnel to monitor and control the area. Homes may be wired to a security company, and if an alarm goes off, they will send over professionals to inspect the location.
