Ho-Ho-Kus was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on October 12, 1908, from what had originally been the Borough of Orvil, which was in turn created on March 8, 1905, from portions of Orvil Township.

A constant source of confusion has been the manner in which the borough's name has been spelled, with each syllable capitalized and separated by hyphens. The confusion is only exacerbated by the existence of Hohokus Township, which comprised the area of present-day Ho-Ho-Kus and other surrounding communities, yet was spelled without the multiple capitalization or the hyphens. The name "Ho-Ho-Kus" was used explicitly in the resolution requesting a change of name passed by the Borough Council on October 12, 1908 and submitted to the Secretary of State of New Jersey requesting "That the Borough now known as the Borough of Orvil be hereafter known as the Borough of Ho-Ho-Kus..." A few theories have been offered for the hyphens and capitalization. One is that it was intended to differentiate between the Borough and Hohokus Township which was formed on April 9, 1849, continued to exist until November 7, 1944, when a referendum was passed changing the name to present-day Mahwah. Another explanation was that it was meant to avoid confusion by postal clerks with mail being sent to Hoboken. While efforts had been made in the ensuing decades to change the name or to alter the way in which the name of the borough is spelled, the Borough remains as "Ho-Ho-Kus.".
