from
Wikipedia
Bogota was formed on November 14, 1894, from portions of Ridgefield Township at the height of the " Boroughitis " phenomenon, based on the results of a referendum held that day.
Bogota was named in honor of the Bogert family, which had been the first to occupy the area, and may also be a portmanteau of Bogert and Banta, another early family, with an " O " added to ease pronunciation.
