Originally a planned community, the borough was named for a pair of lakes which served to distinguish Mountain Lakes as "the first year-round residential lake community in northwestern New Jersey."[23] Mountain Lakes was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 3, 1924, from portions of Boonton Township and Hanover Township, subject to the results of a referendum passed on April 29, 1924.[24][25][26]

The borough is one of the state's highest-income communities.[27][28][29] Based on data from the 2006-2010 American Community Survey, Mountain Lakes had a per capita income of $75,525 (ranked 17th in the state), compared to per capita income in Morris County of $47,342 and statewide of $34,858.[30] In the 2014-2018 ACS, Mountain Lakes had a median household income of $216,250, ranked highest in the state, more than double the statewide median of $79,363.[31]

In 2010, Forbes.com listed Mountain Lakes as 210th in its listing of "America's Most Expensive ZIP Codes", with a median home price of $1,045,401.[32]

Mountain Lakes ranked among the highest annual property tax bills in New Jersey, and highest in Morris County, in 2018 of $20,471, compared to a statewide average of $8,767.[33] New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Mountain Lakes as the 26th best place to live in New Jersey in its rankings of the "New Jersey's Top Towns 2011-2012" in New Jersey.[34]

History
Town founder Herbert Hapgood

Grimes Homestead is an 18th-century historic home that served as a way station on the Underground Railroad.[35]

Mountain Lakes was originally a planned community, founded in 1910 by Herbert Hapgood. The entire face of the community changed from a wilderness of Dutch and English properties to a planned suburban community of large stucco houses now affectionately known as “Hapgoods.” During this single decade, the natural and architectural character of Mountain Lakes was developed. Hapgood was particularly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, at the height of its popularity in 1910 when he started building.

The Hapgood model homes were early forerunners of the modern development, but each house was modified to suit individual tastes. To the basic styles of these houses, Hapgood added colonial and craftsman features. He reversed floor plans, and inter- changed architectural details. By the end of 1912, two hundred Hapgood homes were sold and occupied. By 1923, approximately six hundred stucco houses were built to meet the overwhelming demand. It became an independent town in 1924.[36]

The United States Navy's Underwater Sound Reference Laboratories was located in Mountain Lakes during World War II.[37]

Mountain Lakes had a discriminatory "gentleman's agreement" from its inception up through the 1960s, preventing African-Americans, Jews, Latinos, Catholics, and other "undesirable groupings"[38] from living there.[39][40][41] While this has changed in recent years, the town still has a less diverse population than the rest of New Jersey, or Morris County.[39]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 2.885 square miles (7.473 km2), including 2.616 square miles (6.775 km2) of land and 0.269 square miles (0.698 km2) of water (9.34%).[1][2]

Part of The Tourne county park is in Mountain Lakes.[42]

Man-made lakes in Mountain Lakes include Birchwood Lake, Crystal Lake, Mountain Lake, Sunset Lake, Wildwood Lake, and Cove Lake. It is only legal to swim in Birchwood Lake, and Mountain Lake in the areas that are roped off. Swimming is allowed between the hours of 5 am to 10 PM every day between the months of June and August with a beach badge purchased at the borough hall.[43]

The borough borders Parsippany-Troy Hills, to the east and south, the town of Boonton to the northeast, Boonton Township to the northwest and Denville to the west all of which are located in Morris County.[44][45][46]

The Mayor and Deputy Mayor are chosen by the members of the Council from among its members at a reorganization meeting held each year during the first week in January.[3]

As of 2020, members of the Mountain Lakes Borough Council are Mayor David Shepherd (D, term on committee and as mayor ends December 31, 2020), Deputy mayor Thomas Menard (D, term on committee ends 2022; term as deputy mayor ends 2020), Lauren Barnett (D, 2020), Janet L.

Mountain Lakes is located in the 11th Congressional District[61] and is part of New Jersey's 25th state legislative district.[11][62][63]

For the 116th United States Congress, New Jersey's Eleventh Congressional District is represented by Mikie Sherrill (D, Montclair).[64] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2021)[65] and Bob Menendez (Paramus, term ends 2025).[66][67]

Senator Anthony R. Bucco died in September 2019. A special convention of the Republican County Committee members from the district met on October 15, 2019, and unanimously selected his son, Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco to fill his father's seat until a 2020 special election. Assemblyman Bucco then resigned from the Assembly and on October 24, 2019, was sworn into the Senate. In a special convention following the 2019 General Election, Dunn was slected and will serve until the end of the current Legislative Session, January 14, 2020.[70]

Morris County is governed by a seven-member Board of Chosen Freeholders, who are elected at-large in partisan elections, to three-year terms on a staggered basis, with either one or three seats up for election each year as part of the November general election. The Freeholder Board sets policies for the operation of six super-departments, more than 30 divisions plus authorities, commissions, boards and study committees.[71] Actual day-to-day operation of departments is supervised by County Administrator, John Bonanni.[72] As of 2020, Morris County's Freeholders are Freeholder Director Deborah Smith (R, Denville, 2021),[73] Deputy Freeholder Director Stephen H.
