West-Orange is a township of Essex County in the northeastern part of the state, near Newark and New York City. As of the 2000 census, it had a population of 44, 943 residents. West Orange includes over 600 acres of open parkland, the only equestrian center in Essex County and five golf courses. The town also shares a border with the South Mountain Reservation, a 2,047-acre wilderness area that remains much as it did centuries ago when Henry Hudson first discovered it. The west branch of the Rahway River flows through South Mountain Reservation and a reservoir and the 25-foot Hemlock Falls lies within its boundaries. Eagle Rock Reservation is another forest reserve and recreational park located primarily in West Orange, Montclair and Verona, New Jersey. Other attractions in West Orange include Glenmont, the home of Thomas Edison. Open Wednesday through Sunday, 9:00a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Edison National Historic Site provides a unique opportunity to learn about the legacy of the world's best known inventor. West Orange is within Essex County, which is the second most densely populated county in New Jersey, after Hudson County. It is home to the Newark Liberty International Airport and Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal. Another interesting note: the various towns of Essex County, including West Orange, can be seen in the HBO drama "The Sopranos."
