Leonia is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 9,304,[10][11] an increase of 367 (+4.1%) from the 2010 census count of 8,937,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 23 (+0.3%) from the 8,914 counted in the 2000 census.[22] The borough is a suburb of New York City, near the western approach to the George Washington Bridge.
Leonia was formed as the result of a referendum passed on December 5, 1894, from portions of Ridgefield Township.[23] The borough formed during the "boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone.[24] Portions of Leonia were taken on February 19, 1895, to form the Township of Teaneck.[23][25]
New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Leonia the 31st-best place to live in its 2008 rankings of the "Best Places To Live" in New Jersey.[26]
