City (New Jersey)
A city in the context of local government in New Jersey refers to one of five types and one of eleven forms of municipal government. Despite the widely held perception of a city as a large, urban area, cities in New Jersey have a confused history as a form of government and vary in size from large, densely populated areas to much smaller hamlets. History The 1897 and 1899 city charter laws applied only to areas with a population under 12,000, and provided for a directly elected mayor, who served a two-year term and had strong executive powers.

By 1987, there were only eleven cities under these City Acts (i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
