Town (New Jersey)
A town in the context of New Jersey local government refers to one of five ''types'' and one of eleven ''forms'' of municipal government. While ''town'' is often used as a shorthand to refer to a Township (New Jersey), township, the two are not the same. The Town Act of 1895 allowed any municipality or area with a population exceeding 5,000 to become a town through a petition and referendum process. Under the 1895 act, a newly incorporated town was divided into at least three wards, with two councilmen per ward serving staggered two-year terms, and one councilman at large, who also served a two-year term. The councilman at large served as chairman of the town council.New Jersey Municipal History and the Traditional Forms of Government
