Lakehurst is a borough in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 2,654,[8][9][10][11] reflecting an increase of 132 (+5.2%) from the 2,522 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 556 (-18.1%) from the 3,078 counted in the 1990 Census.[20]

Lakehurst was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 7, 1921, from portions of Manchester Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 24, 1921;[21] the borough is named for its location near lakes and woods.[22]

History[edit]

Union Avenue, about 1910

The community of Lakehurst first reached international fame as a winter resort around the turn of the 20th century, following the opening of the Pine Tree Inn in 1898. In 1911, the rope factory in the town burned down, prompting the formation of a volunteer fire department.[23]

The Hindenburg disaster, occurred on May 6, 1937, the German zeppelin Hindenburg arriving from Frankfurt am Main caught fire at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, which is located in Manchester Township (not in the borough of Lakehurst).

The borough's lake, Lake Horicon, existed prior to 1942, as clearly shown in aerial photographs from 1940 and 1931 and topographical maps from 1912; the cedar water lake remains stream-fed.[24]

Lakehurst is completely surrounded by Manchester Township,[25] making it part of 21 pairs of "doughnut towns" in the state, where one municipality entirely surrounds another.[26]

Government[edit]

Local government[edit]

Lakehurst 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 Lakehurst, 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.[36][37]

As of 2016, the Mayor of Lakehurst Borough is Republican Harry Robbins, whose term of office ends December 31, 2019. Members of the Lakehurst Borough Council are Council President Steven Oglesby (R, 2019), Robin Busch (R, 2017), Stephen F. Childers (R, 2019), James W. Davis Jr. (R, 2018), Patricia A. Hodges (R, 2017) and Gary L. Lowe (R, 2018).[3][38][39][40][41][42][43]

In August 2015, the Borough Council selected former mayor Stephen F. Childers to fill the unexpired term ending in December 2016 of Glenn McComas, who had resigned from office the previous month as he was moving out of the borough.[44]

Federal, state and county representation[edit]

Lakehurst is located in the 4th Congressional District[45] and is part of New Jersey's 10th state legislative district.[10][46][47] Prior to the 2011 reapportionment following the 2010 Census, Lakehurst had been in the 9th state legislative district.[48]

For the 116th United States Congress, New Jersey's Fourth Congressional District is represented by Chris Smith (R, Hamilton Township).[49][50]

New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2021)[51] and Bob Menendez (Paramus, term ends 2025).[52][53]

Holzapfel (R, Toms River Township) and in the General Assembly by Gregory P. McGuckin (R, Toms River Township) and David W. Wolfe (R, Brick Township).[54][55]

Ocean County is governed by a Board of Chosen Freeholders consisting of five members, elected on an at-large basis in partisan elections and serving staggered three-year terms of office, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year as part of the November general election.[56] At an annual reorganization held in the beginning of January, the board chooses a Director and a Deputy Director from among its members; as of 2019, Ocean County's Freeholders (with party affiliation, term-end year, residence and department directorship listed in parentheses) are Freeholder Director Virginia E.

Vicari (R, 2020, Toms River; Senior Services and County Operations).[61][62][63] Constitutional officers elected on a countywide basis are County Clerk Scott M. Colabella (R, 2019, Barnegat Light),[64][65] Sheriff Michael Mastronardy (R, 2019; Toms River)[66] and Surrogate Jeffrey Moran (R, 2023, Beachwood).[67][68]

Education[edit]

The Lakehurst School District serves students in public school for pre-kindergarten through eighth grade at Lakehurst Elementary School; as of the 2014-15 school year, the district and its one school had an enrollment of 525 students and 33.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.5:1.[78]

Public school students from Lakehurst in ninth through twelfth grades attend Manchester Township High School in Manchester Township, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Manchester Township School District;[79][80] as of the 2014-15 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 997 students and 88.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.3:1.[81]

The Lakehurst district decided in 2012 against a proposal that would have had borough students attend Jackson Liberty High School as part of a sending / receiving relationship with the Jackson School District; the change in the sending relationship had been considered as a means of reducing the costs associated with paying $14,000 for each of the 150 students attending Manchester High School, as opposed to the $11,300 that would have been paid at Jackson, yielding annual savings of $400,000, less the added cost of transporting students to and from Jackson.[82]
