Lopatcong Township /loʊˈpætkɒŋ/ is a township in Warren County, New Jersey, United States.

Lopatcong Township was featured in a 2003 article in The New York Times which discussed problems of public school financing in suburban communities and various strategies communities have adopted to deal with the problem.[19]

History

What is now Lopatcong Township was created as Phillipsburg Township on March 7, 1851, by an act approved by the New Jersey Legislature from portions of Greenwich Township and Harmony Township. After Phillipsburg was incorporated as an independent municipality on March 8, 1861, the township changed its name to Lopatcong as of March 18, 1863, after a creek in the area.[20][21]

The name of the creek and township — Lopatcong — came from four words of the Lenni Lenape Native Americans — Lowan peek achtu onk, which meant "winter watering place for deer".[22][23]

Government

Local government

Lopatcong Township is governed by the Faulkner Act (Small Municipality) form of government, which is available under the terms of the Faulkner Act only for those municipalities with a population below 12,000. The government consists of a Mayor and a four-member Township 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 three-year term of office. Council members are elected at large to serve a term of three years on a staggered basis, so that two seats come up for election each year that the mayor is not up for election.[3]

As of 2015, the Lopatcong Township Council consists of Mayor Thomas McKay (R, term ends December 31, 2017), Council President Lori Ciesla (I, 2015), Lou Belcaro (R, 2015), Maureen McCabe (D, 2016) and Donna Schneider (R, 2016).[4][40][41][42][43][44]

Matthew Curry.[45]

Warren County is governed by a Board of Chosen Freeholders whose three members are chosen at-large on a staggered basis in partisan elections with one seat coming up for election each year as part of the November general election. At an annual reorganization meeting held in the beginning of January, the board selects one of its members to serve as Freeholder Director and other as Deputy Director. As of 2014, Warren County's Freeholders are Freeholder Director Edward J. Smith (R, Asbury / Franklin Township, 2015), Freeholder Deputy Director Richard D. Gardner (R, Asbury / Franklin Township, 2014) and Freeholder Jason Sarnoski (R, Lopatcong Township, 2016).[57] Constitutional officers elected on a countywide basis are County Clerk Patricia J.
