Milltown is a borough in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 6,893,[8][9][10] reflecting a decrease of 107 (-1.5%) from the 7,000 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 32 (+0.5%) from the 6,968 counted in the 1990 Census.[19]

Milltown was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on January 29, 1889, from portions of North Brunswick Township, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier. The borough was reincorporated by resolution of the borough council on May 2, 1896. A portion of East Brunswick Township was annexed in 1902.[20] Originally known as Bergen's Mill, named for Jacob I. Bergen who owned the grist mill,[21] the name is believed to have become "Milltown" from residents "going to the mill in town".[22]

As of the 2000 Census, the center of population for New Jersey was located in Milltown, at Milltown Road, just east of the New Jersey Turnpike (see map of location).[23]

The groundbreaking anxiolytic and sedative drug Miltown (meprobamate), which first came to market in the mid-1950s, was named after the town of Milltown.[24]

History

Long before the arrival of the first Europeans, the Lenape had established settlements along the Lawrence Brook. The discovery of many artifacts in the area above today's municipal building (now a small county park) suggests the presence of a Native American settlement.[25] In 1678, Thomas Lawrence, a New York baker, acquired a large area around the Lawrence Brook, which likely included today's Milltown. The Lawrence Brook was then called Piscopeek (and on later maps, Lawrence's Brook). The names and marks of several Native Americans (Quemareck, Quesiacs, Isarick, Metapis, Peckawan and Turantaca) appear on the bill of sale.[26] In 1769, Fulcard Van Nordstrand advertised the sale of a large gristmill on the bank of Lawrence Brook. It would soon be called Lawrence Brook Mill.[27] The 1903 classic western film The Great Train Robbery was shot in Milltown.[25]

The Mill Pond path

In March 2010, the Milltown City Council voted against changing the name of Petain Avenue, citing the difficulties that the street's residents would endure if the name changed.[28][29] Petain Avenue is named for Philippe Pétain, a French World War I general who became the leader of the Vichy France government during World War II. The Vichy Regime willfully collaborated with Nazi Germany, taking state action against "undesirables", including Jews, Protestants, gays, gypsies, and left-wing activists. In total, the Vichy government participated in the deportation of 76,000 Jews to German extermination camps, although this number varies depending on the account; only 2,500 survived the war.[30] After the war, Petain was charged with perjury and sentenced to death, though this was commuted to life imprisonment due to his advanced age. France has since changed the name of every street formerly known as Petain.[31]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, Milltown borough had a total area of 1.596 square miles (4.134 km2), including 1.551 square miles (4.018 km2) of land and 0.045 square mile (0.116 km2) of water (2.80%).[1][2]

The borough borders North Brunswick Township to the west and East Brunswick Township to the east.[32] The Lawrence Brook, a tributary of the Raritan River, flows through the borough after exiting the Farrington Lake. The dam, under Main Street, creates a reservoir, the Mill Pond.

Climate

The climate in the area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Milltown has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps.[33]

Government

Local government

Milltown is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council consists of 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 Maywood, the most common system used in the state, 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.[42][43]

As of 2015, the Mayor of Milltown is Democrat Eric A. Steeber, whose term of office ends December 31, 2015. Members of the Milltown Borough Council (with term-end year and committee chairmanship listed in parentheses) are Council President Neil Raciti (D, 2015; Public Works & Recycling), Ron Dixon (R, 2017; Finance, Planning & Administration), Jerry Guthlein (R, 2017; Utilities), Francis Guyette (R, 2016; Public Safety), Doriann Kerber (R, 2016; Environmental, Health & Social Services) and Patty Murray (D, 2015; Parks and Recreation).[4][44][45][46]

In the November 2011 General Election, Democrat Eric Steeber was elected to a four-year term as mayor, while his running mates Randy Farkas and Joseph Pietanza won three-year terms on the Borough Council.[47]
