The Ford Motor Company Edgewater Assembly Plant was a Ford assembly plant built in 1930. It was located in Edgewater, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The factory produced its last vehicle on 15 July 1955.[3] The plant, located at 309 River Road, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 15, 1983. The building was torn down in 2006 and replaced with a residential development.[4]

It was replaced by Ford's Mahwah Assembly plant. Ford explained in that: "The Edgewater plant had been built for the assembly of pre-war cars. The Ford has become a much bigger and different car since then and the physical limitations of the Edgewater plant site prevented plant expansion.[5]
