As of the 2010 United States Census, the population for ZIP Code Tabulation Area 07034 was 9,360.Lake Hiawatha was named after Hiawatha, a 16th-century First Nations leader and peacemaker, as evident by plaques on the gazebo on Beverwyck Road, the name of its park, and in the name and emblem of its fire department.
