If Lakewood had a middle name, it would be "business." In fact, a business gave birth to our community. Lakewood began in 1833 as a cluster of log huts housing employees of the Bergen Iron Works. A lot has changed since the iron work's blast furnace first roared to life, and Lakewood's business leaders have readily adapted. The township has evolved from a center for iron production, to a renowned resort area, to a major poultry farming region. Today, Lakewood boasts 2,200 acres of industrial parks - home to more than 220 local, national and international companies - as well as a vital historic downtown business and retail district.

Why do businesses come here? What makes them stay? We invite you to "get down to business" and find out!
