Hampton is a borough in Hunterdon County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 1,438,[9] an increase of 37 (+2.6%) from the 2010 census count of 1,401,[18][19] which in turn reflected a decline of 145 (−9.4%) from the 1,546 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

History

[edit]

What is now Hampton was originally incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature as Junction Borough on February 20, 1895, from portions of both Lebanon Township and Bethlehem Township, based on the results of a referendum held on the previous day. By a resolution of the borough council, the name was changed to Hampton as of February 11, 1909. In 1931, additional territory was annexed from both Glen Gardner and Bethlehem Township.[21] As part of the 1931 settlement reached between the two municipalities to resolve a border dispute dating back to the borough of Glen Gardner's formation in 1919, Hampton paid Glen Gardner $4,000 (equivalent to $80,000 in 2023) for 20 acres (8.1 ha) of land that became part of the borough.[22]

Located on the banks of the Musconetcong River, Hampton was first settled in 1800. In 1880, the town consisted of a store, hotel, cabinet manufacturer, blacksmith, wheelwright shop, grist mill, school house and about 25 dwellings. Hampton was once known as "Junction" because the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad crossed through here.[citation needed]

The cremated remains of occultist Aleister Crowley were buried under a tree by O.T.O. successor Karl Germer at his home in Hampton.[23]

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.52 square miles (3.93 km2), including 1.51 square miles (3.90 km2) of land and 0.01 square miles (0.03 km2) of water (0.79%).[1][2]

Hampton Junction is an unincorporated community within Hampton.[citation needed]

The borough borders the municipalities of Bethlehem Township, Glen Gardner Borough and Lebanon Township in Hunterdon County; and Washington Township in Warren County.[24][25][26]

Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

Hampton 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.[34] 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. A 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 Hampton 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.[35][36]

As of 2023, the mayor of Hampton Borough is Republican Todd Shaner, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023. Members of the Hampton Borough Council are Council President Robert T. Wotanowski (R, 2023), Robert M. Celentano (R, 2023), John R. Drummond (R, 2025), Douglas E. Rega (R, 2024), Carroll L. Swenson (R, 2025) and Jeffrey A. Tampier (R, 2024).[3][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]

In May 2013, the borough council selected James Cregar from a list of three candidates recommended by the Republican municipal committee to fill the vacant seat of Mayor Peter Winter following his resignation in May, at which time Cregar had become acting mayor.[44]

Public services

[edit]

Emergency services

[edit]
Fire Department

The Hampton Fire Company is an all-volunteer fire department that was originally established in 1899 as the Junction Fire Company after the borough completed a water system with fire hydrants. In 1909, the name changed to the Musconetcong Fire Company and then later to the Hampton Fire Company. The fire company built the current Borough Hall/Fire House for the borough in 1951. The borough occupied the east side of the building and the fire company used the west side. In 1981, the fire company expanded the building by adding a second floor for borough use and the Fire Company took over the entire lower floor.[76]

The fire company currently has as active apparatuses a 1959 International Harvester fire engine, a 2000 Pierce Fire Engine, 2009 Pierce Fire Engine, Engine 13-1 is a 2000 Pierce Dash pumper with an eight-man cab, 2,000 U.S. gallons per minute (0.13 m3/s) pump and a 1,000-US-gallon (3,800 L) tank, a 2013 Ford Expedition Command Vehicle, and a 1978 GMC Rescue Truck. There are more than 40 active members on the rolls which includes an active Junior Firefighter program for young people age 14 and over.

Emergency squad

In 1955, the Hampton Fire Company selected one of its members, Gilbert Riddle, to organize an emergency squad. With the backing of the Fire Company, the present squad became operational in 1956. The Fire Company purchased the first ambulance, which was housed in the firehouse until the squad's permanent facilities were completed. On August 6, 1966 the dedication of the permanent home of the Emergency Squad took place. The Hampton Emergency Squad incorporated itself in 1976, becoming independent of the Fire Company, however its name did not change. In January 1978, the squad established an auxiliary membership. A new GMC rescue truck was purchased in 1978, equipped with four-wheel drive and quartz spotlights for better lighting during accidents and fires. The rescue truck is still in service with the fire company today. The old 1968 Cadillac ambulance was replaced in 1982 by a Braun ambulance, and was later used as a service vehicle. A Ford Horton ambulance was purchased in 1987, and in 1992 another Ford Horton ambulance was added. An additional bay was added to the building in 1979 to provide storage of emergency vehicles and equipment. The Hampton Emergency Squad dedicated their building to the memory of Charles Tampier and William Deemer in 1982. Construction of the second story addition began in September 1985. And then January 1, 2022 the Hampton Emergency Squad merged with South Branch Emergency Services.

Houck, Jr., counsel for Hampton borough, explained the terms of the compromise reached by the neighboring boroughs, whereby Hampton will take about 20 acres of Glen Gardner territory instead of 46 acres claimed. The purpose of the annexation is to straighten out a long disputed boundary line question which has existed since Glen Gardner incorporated as a borough about 13 years ago.... The actual land value placed on the annexed portion by Borough Treasurer Waters was $200 an acre or approximately $4,000."
