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.
 The
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.
