Lebanon 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 1,665,[9] the highest ever in any decennial census and an increase of 307 (+22.6%) from the 2010 census count of 1,358,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 293 (+27.5%) from the 1,065 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

Lebanon was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 26, 1926, from portions of Clinton Township, based on the results of a referendum held on April 20, 1926. Additional portions of Clinton Township were annexed in 1962.[21]

The borough is located north of the Round Valley Reservoir. In the early part of the 19th century, before the separation of Clinton Township from Lebanon Township on April 12, 1841, the community was known as Jacksonville and later as Lebanonville, Lebanonville Depot and finally Lebanon, a station on the Central Railroad of New Jersey.

The center of Lebanon has changed little in the past century. The Dutch Reformed Church is one of the oldest congregations in the County. Records of the church begin in 1769, however, the church is cited as early as 1747.[22] The Lebanon Historic District was listed on the state and national registers of historic places in 2009.

On April 5, 2024, Lebanon, Oldwick, and Tewksbury Township became epicenters of the 2024 New Jersey earthquake, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake that shook much of the Northeast United States, rare in that area.[23]

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 0.90 square miles (2.34 km2), almost all of which was land.[1][2]

The borough is an independent municipality surrounded by Clinton Township, making it part of one of 21 pairs of "doughnut towns" in the state, where one municipality entirely surrounds another.[24][25][26]

Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

Lebanon Borough is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, one of 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use this form, the most common form of government in New Jersey.[32] 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 includes 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 Lebanon 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.[33][34][35]

As of 2023, the mayor of Lebanon Borough is Republican James J. Pittinger, whose term of office ends December 31, 2026. The Lebanon Borough Council is comprised of Council President Richard J. Burton (R, 2024), Samuel Berger (R, 2024), Gregory F. Crawford (R, 2025), Robert J. Kirchofer (R, 2025), James Lance (R, 2023) and Mary Basile Logan (R, 2023).[3][36][37][38][39][40][41]

In August 2019, the borough council selected Melissa Saharic to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that became vacant following the resignation of Michael Piagentini, who left office the previous month after announcing that he was moving out of the borough.[42] In November 2019, Saharic was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[43]

After Republican incumbent Barbara "Bonnie" Schmidt and Democratic challenger Marlene Baldinger ended up tied with 431 votes for the second of two council seats in the November 2016 general election, the two faced off in a January runoff, which Baldinger won by a 183-135 margin.[44]

Federal, state and county representation

[edit]

Lebanon Borough is located in the 7th Congressional District[45] and is part of New Jersey's 16th state legislative district.[46]

For the 118th United States Congress, New Jersey's 7th congressional district is represented by Thomas Kean Jr. (R, Westfield).[47] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2027)[48] and George Helmy (Mountain Lakes, term ends 2024).[49][50]

For the 2024-2025 session, the 16th legislative district of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the New Jersey Senate by Andrew Zwicker (D, South Brunswick) and in the General Assembly by Mitchelle Drulis (D, East Amwell Township) and Roy Freiman (D, Hillsborough Township).[51]

Hunterdon County is governed by a Board of Chosen Commissioners composed of five members who are elected at-large on a partisan basis to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats up for election each year as part of the November general election. At an annual reorganization meeting held each January, the commissioners select one member to serve as the board's Director and another to serve as Deputy Director, each for a one-year term.[52][53] As of 2025, Hunterdon County's Commissioners are:

Zachary T. Rich (R; West Amwell Township, 2025),[54] Director Jeff Kuhl (R; Raritan Township, 2027)[55] John E. Lanza (R; Raritan Township, 2025),[56] Deputy Director Susan Soloway (R; Franklin Township, 2027)[57] and Shaun C. Van Doren (R; Tewksbury Township, 2026).[58][59]

Constitutional officers elected on a countywide basis are: Clerk Mary H. Melfi (R; Flemington, 2026),[60][61] Sheriff Fredrick W. Brown (R; Alexandria Township, 2025)[62][63] and Surrogate Heidi Rohrbach (R; Lebanon Township, 2028).[64][65]
