Meaning of the Name “Bergen”
The origin of the name of Bergen County is a matter of debate. It is believed that the County is
named for one of the earliest settlements, Bergen, settled in 1660 in the area known today as
Jersey City Heights in Hudson County. Several earlier sources attribute the name to Bergen,
Norway, while others attribute it to Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands. Still others attribute it to
the Dutch word meaning “hill” or “place of safety”. Some sources say that the name is derived
from one of the earliest settlers of Nieuw Amsterdam (now New York City), Hans Hansen
Bergen, a native of Norway, who arrived in New Netherlands in 1633.
The name “Bergen,” originally derived from the word for “hill” in Norway, Belgium and the
Netherlands, was applied to towns located on hills. New Jersey’s Bergen was originally a
settlement on a hill. Therefore, the currently accepted theory is, that the geographical location of
the original town is the most likely reason it was called Bergen.
The name “Bergen” was later applied to the County, which was established in 1683.

After calling around and getting multiple quotes from movers, Amir, owner of Movers 201, sounded the most reliable and truths worthy. The Movers 201 team was on time, efficient, safe, and personable. Crew was absolutely amazing and I would recommend to ANYONE! They made our move from Hoboken to Manhattan SO easy. HIGHLY recommended!

Can’t say enough good, feeling very grateful to have found this company on YELP. Darwin & Edwin have a can do attitude & found a way to answer yes to all of our requests. Booking was easy, a confirmation call the day before, the crew was in touch the day of, giving me an update on the estimate time of arrival. Showed up on time, ready to work. The pricing was fair. Excellent Mover’s!

We used Movers 201 for a move within NJ and we were very happy with their service. They were very fast with loading and unloading of all of our items but still very careful, taking the time to propely wrap and unwrap the furniture to avoid any damage – all that in 85F heat and with multiple flights of up/down stairs involved.
At the end, the bill ended up to be a few hundred dollars under the estimate.

From the very beginning of the whole process starting with the quote process, everyone was very professional. The day of the move four guys showed up, They were all amazing and truly devoted to what they do. We could not have asked for a more efficient crew for our move. We will hire them again!

Movers 201 is awesome. They’ve been donating their services to my local elementary school for the past several years. They’ve taken on the delicate task of moving a grand piano. They’ve been on time professional and speedy. And best of all super friendly!

Very professional business. The 2 man crew arrived on time and made the moving process easy. They were very careful with the handling of our items and made sure that the furniture was wrapped up properly so it wouldn’t get scratched during the move. I would highly recommend them and would definitely use their services again.

The 3 man moving team at Movers 201 that did my move 2 weeks ago was first class! Joshua, Randi, and Darwin worked as a true team with speed, efficiency, and genuine care and concern for the task at hand and the items being handled. I was very impressed w this squad and would recommend them to anyone in need of movers.

I moved with Movers 201 across the states. The whole process is very smooth. The inventory website is easy to use and Amir has been very responsive. The delivery window is 10 business days and I’m happy that my stuff get delivered on the 1st day of the delivery window. There is no hidden fees, but be aware of there is long distance carrying fee although I was not charged. The moving staff is professional. I would highly recommend Movers 201.

Used these guys to move me few weeks ago. Very professional, a real moving company, not just a bunch of guys with a truck. They showed up on time and completed the move within the estimated time frame. Everything was as you would expect from a reputable company. I will definitely use them again the next time I move.
