Orange Overview

Orange, NJ is a township located in Essex County, New Jersey. The township boasts a population, according to recent Census Bureau population estimates, of 30,658. Orange is 12.4 miles (19.96 km) to the west of Jersey City, NJ and 6.9 miles (11.1 km) northwest of Newark, the largest city in the state. It is also 14.1 miles (22.69 km) east of New York and the bright lights of the Big Apple. It is a growing city that is near enough to many major metropolitan areas while far enough to take residents away from the stresses of large city living.

Why live in Orange, NJ?

Orange was once a place where weary travelers found a place to rest as they traveled east and west. What they have left behind was a town with a rich industrial history, including hat makers, breweries, shoemakers, and tanners. They left behind buildings representative of a time when the region was a beacon of manufacturing excellence. It is a town of well-maintained homes and with its status change to township in 1982, it has been able to bring in the Federal assistance necessary to rebuild and revitalize areas in need of improvement. Moving to Orange now is the best decision in light of the improvements that are being made for its future.
