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]
