Wrightstown was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 4, 1918, from portions of New Hanover Township and North Hanover Township, based on the results of a referendum held on March 26, 1918.[21] The borough was named for John Wright, an early settler who contributed the land that became the settlement of Wrightstown.[22][23]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, Wrightstown had a total area of 1.768 square miles (4.579 km2), all of which was land.[1][2]

The borough borders the Burlington County municipalities of New Hanover Township, North Hanover Township, Pemberton Township, Springfield Township, including McGuire AFB and Fort Dix entities of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.[24][25][26]

The borough is one of 56 South Jersey municipalities that are included within the New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve, a protected natural area of unique ecology covering 1,100,000 acres (450,000 ha), that has been classified as a United States Biosphere Reserve and established by Congress in 1978 as the nation's first National Reserve.[27] Part of the borough is included in the state-designated Pinelands Area, which includes portions of Burlington County, along with areas in Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Ocean counties.[28]

Jozsef A. Farago, a former mayor of Wrightstown, criticized the 2000 Census data that showed that the borough's population had dropped 80%, to 748 from 3,843 a decade earlier, noting that the 1990 population had been inflated and that the conversion of Fort Dix to a reserve base had caused a decrease but that the borough's master plan showed a population of 838.[36]

Government

Local government

Wrightstown 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.[38] 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 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 Wrightstown 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.[39][40][41][42]

As of 2020, the Mayor of Wrightstown is Republican Thomas E. Harper, whose term of office ends December 31, 2020. Members of the Wrightstown Borough Council are Council President David Scott Timberman (R, 2020), William L. Bird Jr. (R, 2020), Donald Cottrell (R, 2021), Jeanie L. Knapp (R, 2022), Laurance R. Lownds (D, 2021) and James K. Severns (R, 2022).[4][43][44][45][46][47]

In September 2019, the New Jersey State Comptroller referred a case involving Mayor Thomas Harper to the New Jersey Attorney General for possible criminal charges; it was alleged that the mayor had allowed a private company to dump 565,000 US gallons (2,140,000 l; 470,000 imp gal) of untreated septic tank waste into facilities operated by the borough's municipal utilities authority without the company having paid any fees.[48]

In July 2012, following the death of Brian Sperling in the previous month, the Borough Council selected William Bird to fill Sperling's vacancy on the council and picked Costic Michael Borsavage to take over his role as council president.[49]

Jennifer Heisler, a councilmember who resigned in October 2010, was sentenced in November 2011 to five years of probation after pleading guilty to the theft of $20,000 from Wrightstown Volunteer Fire Company, of which she had been the treasurer.[50]

gollark: Remember when I said to fear my inferential powers, LyricLy, and you IGNORED it, like you IGNORE Macron-related Macron data?
gollark: These are very phasic, I must say. Glad I used apionic induction to use this information!
gollark: The CSS is obviously the kind I write (trivially), it inconsistently uses fairly advanced new JS like template strings and destructuring and Uint8Arrays, it uses overly general operations like zip and cartesian product and map and insertDiagonalFrom, it also uses the exotic labelling feature, I doubt many people here know about WebWorkers or the ridiculous hack I came up with a while ago to do them without an actual external file, it does IO in such an ugly accursed way, and the AI is insane.
