Clinton Township is a township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States.

Clinton Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 12, 1841, from portions of Lebanon Township, based on the results of a referendum held that same day. Portions of the township have been taken to form Clinton town (April 5, 1865, within the township; became independent in 1895), High Bridge township (March 29, 1871) and Lebanon borough (March 26, 1926).[20] The township was named for Governor of New York DeWitt Clinton.[21]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 33.823 square miles (87.603 km2), including 29.876 square miles (77.379 km2) of land and 3.947 square miles (10.224 km2) of water (11.67%).[1][2]

The township borders Bedminster Township, Clinton Town, Franklin Township, High Bridge, Lebanon Township, Raritan Township, Readington Township, Tewksbury Township, Union Township. Also, Lebanon is an independent municipality surrounded entirely by the township.[25]

Cushetunk Mountain is a ring-shaped mountain located in Readington Township and Clinton Township. Once an active volcano, the diabase mountain was formed 160 million years ago. The Lenape called the mountain "Cushetunk" meaning "place of hogs".[26] In the 1960s, the valley was filled with water to create Round Valley Reservoir, at 180 feet (55 m) in depth the second-deepest in the state.[27]

Government

Local government

Clinton Township is governed within the Faulkner Act, formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law, under the Small Municipality form of government. The Small Municipality form of government is available as an option only for municipalities with a population of under 12,000. The government consists of a Mayor and a four-member Township Council, with all positions elected at-large in partisan elections. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a three-year term of office. Council members serve a term of three years, which are staggered so that two council seats come up for election each year that the Mayor's seat does not.[6]

The Mayor is the township's executive official and is responsible for selecting the Municipal Clerk and Assessor, which are subject to confirmation by the Township Council. The Council is the township's legislative body and is responsible for ordinances, resolutions and the annual budget, as well as most hiring other than those positions delegated to the mayor. The mayor presides over and is eligible to vote at council meetings, but has no veto power.[37]

As of 2015, the Clinton Township Council consists of Mayor John J. Higgins (R, term of office ends December 31, 2017), Council President Brian Mullay (R, 2016), Jim Imbriaco (2015), Peter Marra (2015) and Amy Switlyk (R, 2016).[3][38][39][40][41][42]
