Reply to comment by Brudesandwich in Opinions on consolidation of Hudson County into one city? by Hij802

99% of small towns in NJ already have no identity. Just a generic McDonalds mid-Atlantic small town. In Essex County, sure, Montclair and Glen Ridge have an identity. Wood-Ridge and Teterboro in Bergen? Not so much.

The only suburbs I think that actually have an identity are generally those that are historic or are college towns, meaning they existed prior to the boroughitis of the early 20th century. Ones that generally have a unique small downtown/Main Street. Freehold, Morristown, Cape May, Princeton, Montclair, etc. Cities, even small ones like New Brunswick, all tend to have an identity too.
