Lebanon was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 26, 1926, from portions of Clinton Township, based on the results of a referendum held on April 20, 1926. Additional portions of Clinton Township were annexed in 1962.[20]

The borough is located north of the Round Valley Reservoir. The Borough was known in the early part of the 19th century as Jacksonville and later as Lebanonville, Lebanonville Depot and finally Lebanon, a station on the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The center of Lebanon has changed little in the past century. The Dutch Reformed Church is one of the oldest churches in the County. Records of the church begin in 1769, however, the church is cited as early as 1747.[21]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 0.886 square miles (2.297 km2), including 0.886 square miles (2.296 km2) of land and less than 0.001 square miles (0.001 km2) of water (0.04%).[1][2]

The borough is an independent municipality surrounded by Clinton Township, making it part one of 21 pairs of "doughnut towns" in the state, where one municipality entirely surrounds another.[22]

Government

Local government

Lebanon Borough 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.[3] The Borough form of government used by Lebanon, 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.[29][30][31]

As of 2017, the Mayor of Lebanon Borough is Republican Michael Reino, whose term of office ends December 31, 2018. Members of the Lebanon Borough Council are Council President Richard Burton (R, 2018), Marlene G. Baldinger (D, 2019), Sam Berger (R, 2018), Robert H. Junge (R, 2017), John Knoble (R, 2017), Michael Piagentini (R, 2017; appointed to serve an unexpired term) and Jeffrey C. Schneider (2019).[4][32][33][34][35][36][37]

After Republican incumbent Barbara "Bonnie" Schmidt and Democratic challenger Marlene Baldinger ended up tied with 431 votes for the second of two council seats in the November 2016 general election, the two faced off in a January runoff, which Baldinger won by a 183-135 margin.[38]

Hunterdon County is governed by a five-member Board of Chosen Freeholders, who serve three-year terms of office at-large on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats up for election each year on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. At an annual reorganization meeting held each January, the freeholders select one member to serve as the board's Director and another to serve as Deputy Director.[49] As of 2015, Hunterdon County's Freeholders are Freeholder Director John King (R; Raritan Township, 2015),[50] Freeholder Deputy Director Suzanne Lagay (R; Holland Township, 2016),[51] J.
