History

edit

The area that would become the borough had been known as Corona from the mid-1800s and grew up around the two local railroad stations. The name "Hasbrouck" was chosen in 1889 to honor Jacob Dillon Hasbrouck (1842–1918), general manager of the New Jersey and New York Railroad.[26][27] In the face of local opposition, the name change was promoted as improving the community's public perception and avoiding confusion with the Corona, Queens neighborhood, while "Heights" was added to avoid confusion with a similarly named community in upstate New York.[28]

Hasbrouck Heights was formed by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on August 2, 1894, based on the passage of a referendum on July 31, 1894, and was created from portions of Lodi Township at the height of the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County.[29][30] A part of the borough was annexed to Lodi in 1901.[31]

Geography

edit

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.53 square miles (3.95 km2), including 1.52 square miles (3.95 km2) of land and <0.01 square miles (0.01 km2) of water (0.20%).[1][2][1][2]

The borough borders Hackensack, Lodi, Moonachie, Teterboro and Wood-Ridge.[32][33][34]

Government

edit

Local government

edit
 
Borough Hall (January 2009)

Hasbrouck Heights 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.[44] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a 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.[7] The borough form of government used by Hasbrouck Heights, the most commonly used system 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.[45][46]

As of 2024, the mayor of Hasbrouck Heights is Republican Ronald F. Kistner, whose term of office ends December 31, 2027. Members of the Hasbrouck Heights Borough Council are Robert Bing (R, 2024), Susan B. McGuire (R, 2025), Thomas Meli (R, 2024), Joseph Samperi (R, 2025; appointed to serve an unexpired term), Michael Sickels (R, 2026) and Charlotte Sodora (R, 2026).[3][47][48][49][50][51]

Joseph Samperi was appointed in January 2024 to fill the council seat expiring in December 2025 that had been held by Ron Kistner until he stepped down to take office as mayor. Samperi will serve on an interim basis until the November 2024 general election, when voters will choose a candidate to serve the balance of the term of office.[52]

The Hasbrouck Heights School District serves public school students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade.[94] The district also serves students from Teterboro, a non-operating district that was merged into the Hasbrouck Heights School District following its dissolution on July 1, 2010.[95] As of the 2020–21 school year, the district, comprised of four schools, had an enrollment of 1,745 students and 145.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.0:1.[96] Schools in the district (with 2020–21 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[97]) are Euclid Elementary School[98] with 338 students in grades Pre-K–5, Lincoln Elementary School[99] with 386 students in grades Pre-K–5, Hasbrouck Heights Middle School[100] with 426 students in grades 6–8 and Hasbrouck Heights High School[101] with 558 students in grades 9–12.[102][103][104]

Roads and highways

edit

As of May 2010, the borough had a total of 36.64 miles (58.97 km) of roadways, of which 29.29 miles (47.14 km) were maintained by the municipality, 4.78 miles (7.69 km) by Bergen County and 2.57 miles (4.14 km) by the New Jersey Department of Transportation.[109]

Route 17 and U.S. Route 46 pass through Hasbrouck Heights.

Public transportation

edit

NJ Transit bus routes 161, 163 and 164 provide service to and from the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan; the 76 line serves Newark and Hackensack; and local service is offered on the 709 and 780 routes.[110][111]

NJ Transit provides rail service via the Pascack Valley Line's Teterboro – Williams Avenue station, which is located on the eastern boundary with Teterboro, just across the tracks from the Williams Avenue dead end in Hasbrouck Heights. The station is four stops from the line's northern terminus at Hoboken Terminal. Although the rail line's tracks lie entirely within the borders of Hasbrouck Heights, and in fact form the borough's eastern boundary with Teterboro, New Jersey Transit considers the station to be in Teterboro because passenger boarding, passenger shelter, parking lot, and ingress/egress roads are accessed from that municipality.[112][113]

In January 2013, New Jersey Transit erected a 300-foot (91 m) chain link fence in the vicinity of the Williams Avenue dead end as a safety measure to prevent pedestrians / commuters from crossing over the tracks illegally to gain access to the trains on the Teterboro side. Hasbrouck Heights Mayor Rose Marie Heck, Assemblyman Tim Eustace, and Hasbrouck Heights commuters have tried to work with New Jersey Transit to find alternative solutions, including installation of a pedestrian rail crossing with swing gates and warning lights. New Jersey Transit has indicated there are no immediate alternatives available since funding is not available.[114][115][116]

Teterboro Airport is located on the eastern border of Hasbrouck Heights.[113][117]

"By the mid-1800s, the New Jersey and New York Railroad made its first appearance, transforming the village, then known as Corona, from a simple farmland into a thriving community.... In 1889, according to Hasbrouck Heights, History, by Jody Falco and Stephen McNabb, a group of prominent residents including Edward Anson, associate editor of the local newspaper, spearheaded a campaign to give the village of Corona a new name. The residents urged renaming it in honor of Dillon Hasbrouck, general manager of the New Jersey and New York Railroad, who had been instrumental in building two train stations in town. They said the village was often confused with the Queens County, N.Y., community of the same name, and argued that it would 'present a better image if renamed.'... The word Heights was then added so the borough would not be confused with the hamlet of Hasbrouck in Sullivan County, N.Y."
