Irvington is a township in Essex County in northeastern New Jersey. As of the 2010 census, the population was 53,926 residents. The background of how Irvington got its name is interesting; according to Wikipedia, "the area was known as Camptown until the mid-1800s. In 1850, after Stephen Foster published his ballad, Camptown Races, residents were concerned that the activities described in the song would be associated with their community. The town was renamed, Irvingtown, in honor of Washington Irving. Irvington is near the city of Newark. It was incorporated in 1874 from portions of Clinton Township. After the 1967 Newark riots, many families left that city and settled the short distance to Irvington. It's a lovely area with the Elizabeth River being a major geographic feature of the city, bisecting it from the north to the south. The land to the east of the river is gently rolling plains, and to the west are the foothills of the Orange Mountains that reach 220 feet above sea level. Irvington is bordered by the cities of Maplewood to the west, Newark to the east, Hillside to the south, South Orange to the northwest, and Union to the southwest.
