History[edit]

Mendham Township Farmers Market

The township was originally formed on March 29, 1749, from portions of Hanover Township, Morris Township and Roxbury Township.[21] After the Revolutionary War, on February 21, 1798, the township was incorporated by the Township Act of 1798 of the New Jersey Legislature as one of the state's initial group of 104 townships. Portions of the township were taken to create Randolph Township on January 1, 1806. Mendham Borough became an independent municipality when it was formed on May 15, 1906.[22]

The township may be named for Mendham, Suffolk, England,[23][24] or the name may derive from the Native American word mendom (meaning "raspberry") or for an Earl of Mendham.[25][26]

Geography[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 18.100 square miles (46.881 km2), including 17.871 square miles (46.287 km2) of land and 0.229 square miles (0.594 km2) of water (1.27%).[1][2]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Brookside, Colemans Hollow, Days Mills, Pleasant Valley, Ralston and Washington Corner.[27]

The township surrounds Mendham Borough on three sides and borders Morris Township to the east, Harding Township to the southeast, Randolph to the north and Chester Township to the west all of which are located in Morris County. Bernardsville lies to the south and Peapack-Gladstone lies to the southwest, both located in Somerset County.[28]

Government[edit]

Local government[edit]

Mendham Township operates under the township form of New Jersey municipal government; the five-member Township Committee is elected directly by the voters at-large in partisan elections to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year as part of the November general election in a three-year cycle.[7][43] At an annual reorganization meeting held on the first Monday after January 1, the newly reconstituted township committee selects one of its members to serve as mayor, and another to serve as deputy mayor.

As of 2019, members of the Mendham Township Committee are Mayor Warren Gisser (R, term on committee ends December 31, 2019), Richard P. Diegnan Jr. (R, 2019), Amalia Duarte (D, 2020), Nick Monaghan (R, 2021), and Sarah Neibart (R, 2021)[3][44][45][46][47][48][49]

In February 2018, Deputy Mayor Rick Blood resigned from office in the wake of an outcry ensuing from a Facebook post by Blood which likened President Donald Trump and his efforts regarding undocumented immigrants to an exterminator getting rid of "hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons" that had overrun a basement in a home. Blood had run for office in November 2017 as the Republican candidate for Township Committee and lost to Amalia Duarte, the first Democratic candidate to have won a seat in Township history, as it has been a long-time Republican stronghold.[50][51] After the loss in the November election, Blood had then been appointed in December 2017 to fill the seat expiring in December 2018 that had been vacated by Chris Baumann due to business obligations[52] and was elected as Deputy Mayor at the January 2018 reorganization meeting.[51]

Former township committeeman Brian Phelan was inducted into the New Jersey State Elected Officials Hall of Fame in 2011.[53]
