Pohatcong Township is a township in Warren County, New Jersey, United States, located in the easternmost region of the Lehigh Valley. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 3,339,[6][7][8] reflecting a decline of 77 (-2.3%) from the 3,416 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 175 (-4.9%) from the 3,591 counted in the 1990 Census.[15] The name Pohatcong is said to be from the Lenni Lenape Native American term meaning "stream between split hills".[16]

Pohatcong Township was officially established in 1881. On March 24, 1881 Chapter 145 of the Acts of the New Jersey General Assembly was published defining and creating Pohatcong Township. The act to form Pohatcong had been introduced by Assmeblyman William Fritts and, once law, was to take effect January 1 of the following year.[17] Pohatcong was incorporated on January 1, 1882.[18] It was divided off of Greenwich Township. Pohatcong township's name comes from Lenape Native Americans, who called the area "split hills stream outlet". The industrialized center of the township was separated to form Alpha borough, on April 27, 1911.[19]

Government

Local government

Pohatcong Township is governed by the Faulkner Act (Small Municipality) form of government. The Faulkner Act, formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law, allows municipalities to adopt a Small Municipality form of government 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 non-partisan elections. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. Council members serve a term of three years, which are staggered so that either one or two seats come up for election each year as part of the November general election.[4] In May 2011 the township council submitted an ordinance to shift the non-partisan elections from May to November. The shift, which took effect in November 2012, was intended to save the municipality $8,000 a year in costs associated with conducting the election.[38]

As of 2015, the Mayor of Pohatcong Township is James R. Kern, III, whose term of office expires on December 30, 2015. Members of the Township Council (with committee directorship and term-end year listed in parentheses) are Council President Mary Van Lieu (Public Safety; 2016), Frank Becker (Administration; 2015), David Slack (Public Works; 2016) and Anthony S. "Sal" Vangeli (Public Health and Welfare; 2017).[39][40][41][42][43][44][45]

At 22 years of age when he was inaugurated on July 1, 2011, Kern became the youngest municipal executive serving in office in the State of New Jersey.[46]

For the 2014-2015 Session, the 23rd Legislative District of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by Michael J. Doherty (R, Washington Township, Warren County) and in the General Assembly by John DiMaio (R, Hackettstown) and Erik Peterson (R, Franklin Township, Hunterdon County).[55][56] The Governor of New Jersey is Chris Christie (R, Mendham Township).[57] The Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey is Kim Guadagno (R, Monmouth Beach).[58]

Warren County is governed by a Board of Chosen Freeholders whose three members are chosen at-large on a staggered basis in partisan elections with one seat coming up for election each year as part of the November general election. At an annual reorganization meeting held in the beginning of January, the board selects one of its members to serve as Freeholder Director and other as Deputy Director. As of 2014, Warren County's Freeholders are Freeholder Director Edward J. Smith (R, Asbury / Franklin Township, 2015), Freeholder Deputy Director Richard D. Gardner (R, Asbury / Franklin Township, 2014) and Freeholder Jason Sarnoski (R, Lopatcong Township, 2016).[59] Constitutional officers elected on a countywide basis are County Clerk Patricia J. Kolb (Blairstown Township),[60] Sheriff David Gallant (Blairstown Township) and Surrogate Kevin O'Neill (Hackettstown).[61][62] The County Administrator, Steve Marvin, is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operation of the county and its departments.[63]
