Glen Gardner is a borough in Hunterdon County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 1,682,[9] a decrease of 22 (−1.3%) from the 2010 census count of 1,704,[18][19] which in turn reflected a decline of 198 (−10.4%) from the 1,902 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

Glen Gardner is located at the extreme western border of Lebanon Township and was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 26, 1919, from portions of both Lebanon Township and Bethlehem Township based on the results of a referendum held that same day. Portions of the borough were ceded to Hampton borough in 1931.[21]

History

[edit]

Originally settled by the Lenape Native Americans, European settlement began around the time of the American Revolutionary War.[22]

The area that is now Glen Gardner had been known as Eveland's Tavern for tavernkeeper John Eveland. Later, the area was variously called Spruce Run Mills and Sodom. The name of both the community and post office were officially changed to Glen Gardner in 1871 to mark the glen of the Spruce Run and in honor of the Gardner brothers who owned a chair and frame factory in the area.[22][23][24][25]

As part of the 1931 settlement reached between the two municipalities to resolve a border dispute dating back to the borough of Glen Gardner's formation in 1919, Hampton paid Glen Gardner $4,000 (equivalent to $80,000 in 2023) for 20 acres (8.1 ha) of land that officially became part of the borough of Hampton.[26]

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.55 square miles (4.01 km2), all of which was land.[1][2]

Bells Crossing and Clarksville are unincorporated communities located within Glen Gardner.[citation needed]

The borough borders the Hunterdon County municipalities of Bethlehem Township, Hampton Borough and Lebanon Township.[27][28][29]

Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]
Glen Gardner borough hall

Glen Gardner is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, one of 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use this form, which is the state's most common form of government.[36] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. The mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council has six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[6] The borough form of government used by Glen Gardner is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[37][38] This seven-member governing body enacts local ordinances, levies municipal taxes and conducts the affairs of the borough. The mayor and borough council conducts all of its business during monthly meetings open to the public.[39]

As of 2023, the mayor of Glen Gardner is Republican Mattias E. Schroeter, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Michael Gronau (R, 2023), James Ayotte (R, 2025), Jason Hollenstein (R, 2025), Richard J. Mitterando (R, 2024), Don Robertella (R, 2023) and Sue Welch (R, 2024).[3][40][23][41][42][43][44][45]

In April 2021, the borough council appointed Jason Hollenstein to fill the council seat expiring in December 2022 that had been held by Lisa Fielding until she resigned from office the previous month.[46][47] Hollenstein served on an interim basis until the November 2021 general election, when he was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[43]

James Ayotte was selected in May 2020 from a list of three names submitted by the Republican municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2022 that had been held by Sandra Sutton-Lavis until she resigned from her seat in April.[48] After serving on an interim basis, Ayotte was elected to serve the remainder of the term at the November 2020 general election.[44]

In 2018, the borough had an average property tax bill of $5,894, the lowest in the county, compared to an average bill of $9,738 in Hunterdon County and $8,767 statewide.[49][50]

Other students attend the school on a tuition basis.[84] Formerly known as the Town of Clinton School District, the district's board of education voted in November 2009 to revise the name to Clinton-Glen Gardner School District to reflect the merger.[85] As of the 2021–22 school year, the district, comprised of one school, had an enrollment of 427 students and 38.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.1:1.[86]

Houck, Jr., counsel for Hampton borough, explained the terms of the compromise reached by the neighboring boroughs, whereby Hampton will take about 20 acres of Glen Gardner territory instead of 46 acres claimed. The purpose of the annexation is to straighten out a long disputed boundary line question which has existed since Glen Gardner incorporated as a borough about 13 years ago.... The actual land value placed on the annexed portion by Borough Treasurer Waters was $200 an acre or approximately $4,000."
