Accessed September 4, 2014.〕 |website = |footnotes = }} Little Ferry is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 10,626,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 174 (-1.6%) from the 10,800 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 811 (+8.1%) from the 9,989 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed June 7, 2012.〕 ==History== Little Ferry was formed by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on September 18, 1894, from portions of Lodi Township and New Barbadoes Township, based on the results of a referendum held two days earlier.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 80. Accessed June 7, 2012.〕〔''History of Bergen County, New Jersey, 1630-1923'', p. 375. Only shows Lodi Township as parent municipality.〕 The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone.〔Harvey, Cornelius Burnham. (''Genealogical History of Hudson and Bergen Counties, New Jersey'' ), p. 11, New Jersey Genealogical Publishing Company, 1900. Accessed September 3, 2013. "For a period of sixteen years following the passage of this act few boroughs were organized in the State, only three of them being in Bergen County.... As it was twenty-six boroughs were in the county from January 23, 1894, to December 18, of the same year."〕 During the colonial era, the borough was the site of an important ferry crossing between the region's towns at Bergen and Hackensack, which was operated by rope on the site starting in 1659, continuing until 1826 when it was replaced by a bridge on the Bergen Turnpike.〔Snow, Violet. ("Little Ferry 'tries to improve living' for residents" ), ''The Record (Bergen County)'', October 2, 2011. Accessed June 7, 2012. "History is in evidence in the borough, which is named after a rope-towed ferry that provided transportation across the Hackensack River, the town's eastern border, between 1659 and 1826."〕〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed September 3, 2015.〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 188. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed September 3, 2015.〕 Gethsemane Cemetery, an African burial ground, was opened in 1860 and was used for interments until 1924.〔Hanley, Robert. ("IN BRIEF: HERITAGE; CEMETERY DEDICATED" ), ''The New York Times'', November 2, 2003. Accessed June 7, 2012. "In the late 1970's, the N.A.A.C.P. began a campaign to restore a burial ground in Little Ferry known as Gethsemane Cemetery and to recognize its historical significance. Last week the effort paid off.From 1860, when slavery was still legal in New Jersey, until 1924, at least 381 black residents of Hackensack were buried in the one-acre cemetery."〕 The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.〔(New Jersey - Bergen County ), National Register of Historic Places. Accessed June 7, 2012.〕 Rosie's Diner (formerly the Farmland Diner) was used in the 1970s for the filming of Bounty paper towel commercials featuring Nancy Walker as Rosie the Waitress.〔King, Wayne. ("Our Towns; It's the Last Call At Rosie's Diner, And on the Road" ), ''The New York Times'', January 12, 1990. Accessed June 7, 2012. "Rosie's Farmland Diner on Route 46 in Little Ferry may be the best-known diner in America, but it is still a real diner.... It was called the Silver Dollar then, but Ralph Carrado changed it to Rosie's around 1970, after it became famous. That was because of the Bounty paper-towel commercials on television. Nancy Walker played Rosie, who mopped up all sorts of diner spills with paper towels she called ''the quicker picker-upper.'' After two decades, she is still doing it."〕 ''New Jersey Monthly'' magazine ranked Little Ferry 35th in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.〔("Best Places To Live - The Complete Top Towns List 1-100" ), ''New Jersey Monthly'', February 21, 2008.
