Short Hills - Millburn Township Information

The Township is governed by five elected committee members who serve three-year terms and annually choose one of their own as mayor of Millburn. In keeping with Stewart Hartshorn's original tree preservation efforts, the town has a full-time forester. Before trees may be cut down, he must issue a permit, and he also advises residents on tree planting and care. Timothy P. Gordon, the Millburn Business administrator, says the township has more than 1,000 trees that are more than 200 years old.

Millburn - Short Hills TownhallThe Township of Millburn, with a population of 19,765 according to the 2000 census, is located in the southwest corner of Essex County and covers about ten square miles. It is 20 miles west of New York City. The southern border, adjacent to Summit and Springfield, is partially defined by Morris Turnpike, also called New Jersey Route 124. Maplewood lies to the east of Millburn; West Orange and Livingston lie to the north; and Florham Park and Chatham to the west.

About half of Essex County's 2,000-acre South Mountain Reservation lies within the Township. Other open spaces include three municipal parks, three golf courses, two water reserves, a reservoir and small parcels of undeveloped land. The Township is primarily a residential suburb, and many of its residents commute to work in New York City. Most live in single family houses. The Township has approx-imately 6,100 residential properties, 20 apart-ment buildings, more than 200 commercial buildings, and 32 industrial buildings.

Millburn Mayor and Township Committee

Millburn Township was created by an act of the New Jersey State Legislature on March 20, 1857. Since its incorporation as a municipality in 1857, the Township has operated under the Township Committee form of government. A Business Administrator manages the day-to-day functions of the Township.

The Township Committee is made up of five members elected to staggered, three-year terms. At the Committee’s organizational meeting each January, one member is elected to serve as chairman for a twelve-month term and another is chosen to serve as vice chairman. Under state statute the chairman of a Township Committee also holds the title of mayor.
