Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Fair Lawn, NJ

Fair Lawn is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, incorporated on March 6, 1924, from portions of Saddle River Township.

The borough was originally spelled "Fairlawn" as one word, after David Acker's 1865 estate of that name, and the name was officially split into two words in 1933.

The 2020 census counted 34,927 residents in 12,243 households across Fair Lawn's 5.22 square miles, a density of about 6,802 people per square mile.

Fair Lawn is a bedroom suburb about 12 miles northwest of New York City, served by two NJ Transit Bergen County Line stations, Radburn and Broadway.

Within the borough sits Radburn, an unincorporated community founded in 1929 as "a town for the motor age" and one of the first planned communities in the United States, designed by planners Clarence Stein and Henry Wright.

Radburn was built by Alexander Bing's City Housing Corporation beginning in 1928 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2005; its plan set a precedent for the New Deal's green towns, such as Greenbelt, Maryland, and for later new towns such as Reston, Virginia.

Radburn's design separates pedestrians from automobiles across some 149 acres with 23 acres of interior parks, and landscape architect Marjorie Sewell Cautley designed its parks and open spaces with plants native to northern New Jersey.

Fair Lawn preserves eight sites on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Peter Garretson House, the Naugle House from the 1750s, the Jacob Vanderbeck Jr. House built in 1754, and the Radburn railroad station.

Before European settlement, the Fair Lawn area was Lenape land once known as "slooterdam," and it later developed as the farming community called Small Lots.

Fair Lawn High School, located in the borough's Central Fair Lawn neighborhood, serves the borough's public high school students.
