Pompton Lakes is a borough in Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 11,097,[10][11][12] reflecting an increase of 457 (+4.3%) from the 10,640 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 101 (+1.0%) from the 10,539 counted in the 1990 Census.[22]

Pompton Lakes was formed as a borough on February 26, 1895, from portions of Pompton Township, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier.[23] Pompton Lakes was the first borough to be formed in Passaic County, as the "boroughitis" that had struck elsewhere hit the county. The newly formed borough did not acquire territory from more than one township, which would have entitled Pompton Lakes to a seat on the Board of chosen freeholders.[24] The borough was named for the Pompton people, who lived in the area.[25]

An outer-ring suburb of New York City, Pompton Lakes is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Midtown Manhattan. From the higher mountains in and around the borough one can see the New York City skyline. Three rivers, the Ramapo, Pequannock and Wanaque, run through the borough, providing many year-round activities for Pompton Lakes residents.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 3.191 square miles (8.267 km2), including 2.913 square miles (7.545 km2) of land and 0.278 square miles (0.721 km2) of water (8.73%).[1][2]

The borough borders the municipalities of Bloomingdale, Wanaque and Wayne in Passaic County; Oakland in Bergen County; and Riverdale in Morris County.[26]

Economy

The downtown core is located along Wanaque Avenue. There is an ongoing revitalization project in place for the downtown. The Downtown Revitalization project has generally been successful, as the final stages are now being completed. Now, like in the heyday of the Downtown area, which was the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, there are a wide variety of small boutiques, ethnic food stores, and other small, generally family run businesses. There are also popular Thai, Chinese, and Mexican restaurants and quite a few classic Italian pizzerias.

The town has a small industrial section located along Cannonball Road. The end of the road is home to the DuPont works site, which was shut down in the early 1990s, but it still owned by DuPont. Several lawsuits have emerged in the last decade with regards to water contamination and ground gas seepage due to decades of dumping on the DuPont site. DuPont has been involved in groundwater and topsoil remediation throughout the area of the town which was affected: a swath of land adjacent to Acid Brook and the part of town known as DuPont village.

Pompton Lakes' largest retail hub is the Pompton Lakes Town Square, which is located on the site of the former Klugetown Shopping Center and was anchored by an A&P supermarket before the company's Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing. Some of the more popular businesses visited by residents include a Starbucks, Wendy's, TD Bank, and GNC; typical of many North Jersey suburban strip malls.

As a point of interest regarding the Town Square: The former Klugetown Shopping Center was anchored by two barrel-roofed stores on either end of the strip, with a Ben Franklin store at one end and an Acme supermarket at the opposite end. On October 27, 1997, a small electrical fire that started in the ceiling of the Acme store quickly spread due to the wooden roof trusses the entire strip mall had been constructed with when it first opened. Although Pompton Lakes fire department vehicles were on the scene in 2–3 minutes, the fire had already begun to rage out of control and there was no chance of saving the buildings. The entire Klugetown center burned to the ground as several fire departments from surrounding towns were called in to assist Pompton Lakes' department in fighting the inferno. Ten businesses were destroyed and the property was regarded as a total loss. Although an investigation determined that the fire had started before the employees arrived in the store and was not deliberately set, the chief of the fire department had two Acme employees arrested and charged with arson. Though the county prosecutor declined to prosecute, the two employees sued and won a resulting civil suit against the fire department for false-light and malicious prosecution claims that totaled more than $1 million.[36] The site sat empty for many years before being rebuilt into the current Town Square.

Parks and recreation

The Ramapo Mountain State Forest is in the northernmost part of the borough.[37] There are also eight municipal parks: Hershfield Park, Stiles Park, Gallo-Pacifico Park, Lakeside Park, Veterans Memorial Park, Federal Square, Willow Park, Joe Louis Memorial Park, and John Murrin Park.

Pompton Lakes is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, 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 consists 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.[5] The Borough form of government used by Pompton Lakes, the most common system used 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.[39][40]

As of 2016, the Mayor of Pompton Lakes Borough is Republican Michael A. Serra, whose term of office ends December 31, 2019.[6] Members of the Pompton Lakes Borough Council are Council President William D. Baig (R, 2016), Erik I. DeLine (R, 2018), Frank M.
