History
While Mount Arlington is now mostly a suburban residential community, it was once a thriving resort community. In the era before the world wars and the advent of air travel, it was a welcome respite for the residents of nearby New York City and Newark.
Every summer, thousands would arrive by train at Landing Station, and then travel by water taxi across Lake Hopatcong to the area's many large resort hotels to escape the city heat and enjoy the famous "Mount Arlington breeze" which always cooled the summer evenings. There was also a major amusement park, Bertrand Island, which featured a world-famous carousel and roller coaster, which operated until the park was closed in 1983.[22]
Mount Arlington was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on November 3, 1890, from portions of Roxbury Township, based on the results of a referendum held two days earlier. Additional territory was acquired from Roxbury Township on July 25, 1891, on May 31, 1893, and on May 31, 1894.[23][24] The borough is named for Henry Bennet, 1st Earl of Arlington.[25]
In March 2014, members of the public petitioned the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs to form the Roxbury Mount Arlington Study Commission to consider a possible consolidation of Mount Arlington and the neighboring municipality of Roxbury Township. In March 2015, the commission was formed with five members and two alternates from each municipality. If the commission votes to recommend a merger, the decision would have to be ratified by a referendum of the voters in each community.[26]
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 2.919 square miles (7.560 km2), including 2.172 square miles (5.625 km2) of land and 0.747 square miles (1.935 km2) of water (25.60%).[1][2]
The borough borders the municipalities of Jefferson Township, New Jersey and Roxbury Township in Morris County; and Hopatcong in Sussex County.[27][28][29]

Government
Local government
Mount Arlington is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 of 565 municipalities statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[37] 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 is comprised of 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.[3] The Borough form of government used by Mount Arlington 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.[38][39]
As of 2020, the Mayor of Mount Arlington is Republican Michael Stanzilis, who is serving a term of office ending December 31, 2022. In April 2016, Stanzilis was selected by the Borough Council from three names nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the seat following the death of Arthur R. Ondish; Stanzilis served on an interim basis until the November 2016 general election when he was elected to serve the two years remaining on the term of office.[4][40] Members of the Borough Council are Council President Jack Delaney (R, 2020), Andrew Cangiano (R, 2022), Maria Farris (R, 2021; elected to serve an unexpired term), Melissa Fostle (R, 2020; appointed to serve an unexpired term), Nita Galate (R, 2021; elected to serve an unexpired term) and Leonard J. "Lee" Loughridge Jr. (R, 2022).[41][42]<[43][44][45][46][47]
In January 2020, the Borough Council appointed Melissa Fostle to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that became vacant when Steve Sadow resigned to move out of the borough.[48]
In the November 2019 general election, Republicans Maria Farris and Debra Galate were elected to fill the seats expiring in December 2021 that had been held by Raymond Simard and Robert Sorge.[45]
In May 2016, the Borough Council appointed Jack Delaney to fill the council seat expiring in December 2017 that had been held by Michael Stanzilis until he was appointed as interim mayor; Delaney served on an interim basis until the November 2016 general election, when he was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[49][50]
