Clementon is a borough in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 5,000,[8][9][10] reflecting an increase of 14 (+0.3%) from the 4,986 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 615 (-11.0%) from the 5,601 counted in the 1990 Census.[18]

History[]

Around 1800, Jonathon Haines built a glass factory in what is now Clementon, situated on a large hill across the street from the modern day Clementon Park. Large amounts of dirt, gravel and marl from the large hill the glass works were situated on were removed for use at a planned new post office in 1961. Sometime around 1811, Samuel Clement of Haddonfield purchased the glass works and named them the Gloucester Glass works, and named the small settlement around the plant as Clementon village.[19] Haines remained as a superintendent and at some point repurchased the works from Clement.

The Borough of Clementon was created on February 13, 1925, from Clementon Township, one of nine municipalities created from the now-defunct township, based on the results of a referendum held on March 17, 1925.[20][21]

Geography[]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.95 square miles (5.05 km2), including 1.89 square miles (4.90 km2) of land and 0.06 square miles (0.15 km2) of water (2.97%).[1][2]

The borough is located on Clementon Lake, which is the site of the Clementon Amusement Park. The amusement park was home to the Jack Rabbit, a wooden roller coaster constructed in 1919 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. Though quite tame in comparison to modern steel coasters, it remained popular with park visitors. It was one of the oldest remaining coasters in the country when it was taken out of service in 2002[22] and ultimately demolished in 2007.

Rowands Pond Wildlife Management Area, covering 12.98 acres (5.25 ha), is located in Clementon.[23]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the borough include Brownsville and Gordon Lake.[24]

Clementon borders Berlin Borough, Lindenwold, Pine Hill and Pine Valley.[25][26][27]

Government[]

Local government[]

Clementon is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 565) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[37] 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.[6] The Borough form of government used by Clementon 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] A council president is selected annually from among their own members by the council and presides in the absence of the mayor. The council has all executive responsibilities not specifically assigned to the mayor.

As of 2020, the Mayor of the Borough of Clementon is Democrat Thomas J. Weaver, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023. Members of the Clementon Borough Council are Melvin Applegate (D, 2021), Mark Armbruster (D, 2021), Christopher Hammond (D, 2022), Meghan Milano (D, 2020), Thomas M. Shaw (D, 2022) and Holly Strobl (D, 2020).[3][40][41][42][43]
