Englishtown is a rapidly growing borough in western Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The community is located within the Raritan Valley region. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 2,346,[9] its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 499 (+27.0%) from the 2010 census count of 1,847,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 83 (+4.7%) from the 1,764 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

Englishtown was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on January 4, 1888, from portions of Manalapan Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day.[21] The borough was named for James English, an early settler.[22][23]

History

[edit]
The Village Inn was George Washington's headquarters after the Battle of Monmouth in 1778, as the Court-martial trial of General Charles Lee was taking place (pictured here in March 2020).

At the Battle of Monmouth, an American Revolutionary War battle fought on June 28, 1778, in Monmouth County, American General Charles Lee led the advance and initiated the first attack on the column's rear. When the British turned to flank him, he ordered a general retreat without as much as firing a shot at the enemy, and his soldiers soon became disorganized. General George Washington continued the battle, earning respect for the Continental Army troops under his command. In the dining room of the Village Inn, located in the center of Englishtown, General Washington and Lord Stirling drew up the court martial papers citing Lee for his conduct during and after the battle.[24]

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 0.59 square miles (1.52 km2), including 0.57 square miles (1.48 km2) of land and 0.02 square miles (0.04 km2) of water (2.88%).[2][3]

The borough is entirely surrounded by Manalapan Township,[25][26][27] making it part of 21 pairs of "doughnut towns" in the state, where one municipality entirely surrounds another.[28]

Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

Englishtown is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[36] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. The mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes 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 Englishtown 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.[37][38]

As of 2023, the mayor of the Borough of Englishtown is Republican Thomas Reynolds, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023. Members of the Englishtown Borough Council are Council President Daniel Francisco (R, 2024), Wayne Krawiec (R, 2025), Meaghan Lewis (R, 2025), William L. Lewis Jr. (R, 2024), Eric L. Mann (R, 2023) and Cecilia "Cindy" Robilotti (R, 2023).[4][39][40][41][42][43]

In March 2020, Daniel Francisco was chosen to fill the seat expiring in December 2021 that had been held by Lori Cooke until her seat was declared to be vacant after she had missed three consecutive unexcused absences from council meetings.[44]

In April 2016, the borough council selected Eric Mann from three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the seat expiring December 2017 that had been held by Rudy Rucker until his resignation; Mann served on an interim basis until the November 2016 general election, when he was elected to fill the balance of the term.[45][46]

On March 28, 2012, Jayne Carr's seat on the borough council was officially vacated in accordance with state law after she failed to appear at eight consecutive meetings of the borough council dating back to December 2011. Carr claimed that she had stayed away from council meetings after receiving a death threat, and had informed the Monmouth County Prosecutor regarding the incident.[47] As of May 4, 2012, no official statement has ever been made from any law enforcement agency at the local, state, or federal level confirming Carr's claims. In November 2011, Carr had been censured "for conduct detrimental to the orderly conduct of borough governance and violating standards of decorum and debate of a public body", based on statements that she had made accusing a council member and borough employee of breaking state law, and of having claimed to have chaired meetings of the Englishtown Development Committee. According to official records, the meetings Carr claimed to have chaired were never held.[48]

On April 25, 2012, the council selected Lou Sarti, a retired police officer and long-time resident of Englishtown who had served as president of the Englishtown Fire Department, to fill the unexpired term of the vacated seat.[49]

Monmouth County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners composed of five members who are elected at-large to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats 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 director and another as deputy director.[59] As of 2024, Monmouth County's Commissioners are Director Thomas A.

Roads and highways

Public transportation

[edit]

In the 19th and 20th centuries, Englishtown Borough and Manalapan Township had a major railway in the area, which was the Freehold and Jamesburg Agricultural Railroad. This railway was owned and operated by the Camden & Amboy Railroad Company (C&A), in which surveying for the line began on September 8, 1851, grading began on October 19, 1852, and the first track was laid on April 4, 1853.[111] The first section of line was opened on July 18, 1853.[112] The establishment of the Freehold & Jamesburg Agricultural Railroad allowed this region to become a transportation hub.[113] The Freehold and Jamesburg Railroad was abandoned by the early 1930s. A 2.8-mile long (4.5 km) portion of the former railroad's right-of-way was later approved to be sold by the New Jersey Board of Public Utility Commissioners (PUC) to Jersey Central Power & Light Company in 1966, with occasional freight service still being utilized through the Freehold Industrial Track.

NJ Transit offers bus service between Englishtown and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, which is available on the 139 route.[114]
