Harrison is a town in the western part of Hudson County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is part of the New York metropolitan area. It is a suburb of the nearby city of Newark, New Jersey, and is located 8 miles (13 km) from New York City. Once considered "the beehive of industry", the town is undergoing a residential renewal, particularly along the Passaic River.[20]
As of the 2020 United States census, the town's population was 19,450,[10][11] an increase of 5,830 (+42.8%) from the 2010 census count of 13,620,[21][22] which in turn reflected a decrease of 804 (−5.6%) from the 14,424 counted in the 2000 census.[23]
