As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 25,890.〔〔 The population increased by 1,828 (+7.6%) from the 24,062 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 6,157 (+34.4%) from the 17,905 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 20, 2012.〕〔Staff. ("Census 2010: Mahwah" ), ''The Record (Bergen County)'', February 9, 2011. Accessed March 31, 2011.〕 The name "Mahwah" is derived from the Lenape word "''mawewi''" which means "Meeting Place" or "Place Where Paths Meet".〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed September 4, 2015.〕〔Cheslow, Jerry. ("If You're Thinking of Living in: Mahwah" ), ''The New York Times'', June 2, 1991.〕〔(Mahwah High School Mission Statement ), Mahwah High School. Accessed June 23, 2012. "THE Leni Lenape Indians called it Mawewi -- the meeting place of rivers and paths -- and though its modern name, Mahwah, is slightly different, it is as appropriate today as it was in 1700, when the first white settler, Blandina Bayard, established a trading post there."〕 The area that is now Mahwah was originally formed as Hohokus Township on April 9, 1849, from portions of Franklin Township. While known as Hohokus Township, territory was taken to form Orvil Township (on January 1, 1886; remainder of township is now Waldwick), Allendale (November 10, 1894), Upper Saddle River (November 22, 1894) and Ramsey (March 10, 1908). On November 7, 1944, the area was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature as the Township of Mahwah, based on the results of a referendum held that day, replacing Hohokus Township.〔Snyder, John P.

Accessed February 24, 2008.〕 == History == The Lenape and ancestral indigenous peoples were the original inhabitants of Mahwah (the meeting place) and surrounding area. Their descendants have combined with other Native Americans and ethnicities and were recognized in 1980 by the state as the Ramapough Mountain Indians. They number approximately 5,000 people living around the Ramapo Mountains of northern New Jersey and southern New York. The tribe is officially recognized by New Jersey, but does not have federal recognition.〔Kelley, Tina. ("New Jersey Tribe Member Dies After Police Shooting at a Back-Roads Party" ), ''The New York Times'', April 11, 2006. Accessed October 24, 2007. "New York and New Jersey recognize the Ramapoughs as a tribe, but the tribe has failed to obtain federal recognition. It has about 5,000 members."〕 Their tribal office is located on Stag Hill Road in Mahwah, and the Chief of the Ramapough Lenape Indian Nation is Dwaine Perry (as of March 2007).〔Salazar, Carolyn; and Markos, Kibret.

"Mr. Pfeiffer is one of 3,359 auto workers who lost their jobs when the Ford Motor Company closed its assembly plant in Mahwah, N.J., nearly two years ago."〕 At the time of its completion, it was the largest motor vehicle assembly plant in the United States. The Ford plant, along with other businesses such as American Brake Shoe and Foundry Company, helped contribute to the economic development of the town and its reputation for low home property taxes.〔(HISTORY OF THE FORD ASSEMBLY PLANT ), Mahwah Museum.

Due to contractors' dumping of hazardous wastes at the Ringwood Mines landfill site before federal regulation, it has been designated as an EPA Superfund site which needs extensive environmental cleanup. In 2006, some 600 Ramapough Indians filed a mass tort claim against Ford for damages.〔McGrath, Ben.
