A very small borough located in Bergen County in New Jersey state, Palisades Park has a population of more than 20,000 people, most of which hail from Korea. The borough is spread over just 1.28 square miles and shares its borders with neighboring boroughs like Fort Lee, Ridgefield Park, Leonia and Morsemere.

The foundation of Palisades Park as a modern borough got laid in 1899 under an act of the New Jersey Legislature. A few portions of Ridgefield Township got included for the formation of Palisades Park, which seeks inspiration from its location, which is at the top of New Jersey Palisades.

As said above, it is densely inhabited by Koreans, which form around 65 per cent of the total population of the borough. The borough is also known as ‘Little Korea’ and ‘Koreatown on the Hudson’ by the American natives. Even the central business district located around Broad Avenue is known as Koreatown due to the rich ethnicity of Koreans in the area. In 2015, a proposal for changing the name of Broad Avenue to ‘Korea Way’ was introduced by the Korean-American Association of Palisades Park to the mayor of the town. The influence of Korean culture is evident in this part of New Jersey real estate too.
