Milford is a borough located in western Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 1,233,[7][8][9] reflecting an increase of 38 (+3.2%) from the 1,195 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 78 (-6.1%) from the 1,273 counted in the 1990 Census.[18]

Milford was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 15, 1911, from portions of Holland Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 8, 1911. The borough's incorporation was confirmed on March 13, 1925.[19]

The borough is located on the Delaware River in the western portion of Hunterdon County, known as the Hunterdon Plateau. The Borough dates to the mid-18th century when a grist mill was established here. After the mill was destroyed by fire in 1769, the settlement became known as Burnt Mills. The area was renamed as "Lowreytown" after Thomas Lowrey purchased land in the area in 1796. The community became commonly known as "Millford" or "Millsford" by the beginning of the 19th century, but by 1844 the name had lost a letter or two. It was incorporated in 1911 but the official incorporation was not registered until 1925.[20][21]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.226 square miles (3.175 km2), including 1.149 square miles (2.975 km2) of land and 0.077 square miles (0.200 km2) of water (6.31%).[1][2]

Milford borders Alexandria Township and Holland Township. Milford also borders the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is connected to Upper Black Eddy, Bridgeton Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission's free Upper Black Eddy-Milford Bridge over the Delaware River.

Government

Local government

Milford 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 Milford, 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]

As of 2016, the Mayor of Milford Borough is Republican Ronald R. Rehl, whose term of office ends December 31, 2019. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Noralie LaFevre (D, 2016), Carole A. Heller (R, 2017; appointed to serve an unexpired term), Henri R. Schepens (R, 2018), George A. Sniffin (R, 2016), Robert E. White (D, 2017) and Elisa Yager (R, 2018).[4][31][32][33][34][35][36]
