NOTICE: Due to the complexities of the upgrades, we have decided to place MidBergen Communities on hiatus until February, 2017.

Welcome to the new MidBergen Communities. There were a growing number of problems with the system we had for the previous site, which necessitated moving entirely across to a completely new system; this was a time consuming venture, working heavily with a moving target. Due to necessity, we have reopened a little prematurely; we should be operating on all cylinders within the next few weeks. Look for new features, including blogs by local writers, better coverage, and special directories for our local not-for-profits.

We are operating as a community service, covering the towns and boroughs of mid-Bergen county (hence the name of the site). We are currently working with (in alphabetical order), Bergenfield, Dumont, Haworth, New Milford, River Edge, and Oradell. Feel free to explore around. The discussion forums will be reopened soon (registration will be required for posting to prevent spamming). The purposes of this site are educational in nature: to make residents more aware of resources available in our area, notably events, organizations, locally owned businesses, and government services. We therefore concentrate on features, including articles written with the help of representatives of local businesses and organizations. (if you want your business featured, and have a good idea for an article, don't hesitate to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

If you have an event coming up, please submit them to the community calendar (please write us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., if you want to post an event; direct posting will be available soon). The site will remain completely free of charge for the time being; if pay services come in the future, anything that is currently here will remain free of charge. In addition, any funds received over and above expenses will be used to help local not-for-profit organizations.

There will free classified ads in the discussion forums. We are building a directory of local businesses. If you want your business to be included (there is no charge for a basic listing if you are in one of the six boroughs), please send the name of your business, its website (if any) its address, phone number, hours, and what kind of business it is to This email address is being protected from spambots.

If you want to make any suggestions, comments, or, especially, complaints, you can reach us publicly in the support forum, or email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. in any case.
