Cedar Grove is a township in north central Essex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 12,980,[8][9] an increase of 569 (+4.6%) from the 2010 census count of 12,411,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 111 (+0.9%) from the 12,300 counted in the 2000 census.[20]
New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Cedar Grove as its fourth-best place to live in Essex County and 17th-best place overall to live in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.[21]
What is now Cedar Grove was originally incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature as the Township of Verona on February 7, 1892, from portions of Caldwell Township. Portions of the township were taken to create Verona borough, based on the results of a referendum held on April 30, 1907. On April 9, 1908, the name was formally changed to Cedar Grove.[22][23] The township's name derives from the Eastern Red Cedar trees that once covered its valley and hillsides.[24][25]
