History

edit
 
Map of Pitman including the Grove
 
The intersection at Broadway leads to Uptown Pitman, lined with shops, restaurants, and bakeries

In 1871, land was chosen in both Glassboro and Mantua Township to be set aside for a Methodist summer camp meeting.[26] The New Jersey Conference Camp Meeting Association was officially chartered and given authority over the land grant in 1872, and began planning the campground and organizing meetings. The land had an auditorium located on a central meeting ground, and twelve roads originated from the central area as spokes on a wheel.

This area became known as the Pitman Grove, and while worshipers' tents originally lined each of the twelve roads, cottages slowly replaced the tents and formed the foundation of the town of Pitman. By the 1880s, the number of cottages had climbed to 400 and residents had begun staying year-round, both of which led to the establishment of the first public school in 1884. By 1887, businesses had cropped up north of the Grove in an area then-named Arbutus Hill, and in 1892, Alcyon Park was established.[26] The Grove directors resisted the secularization of the Methodist retreat,[26] but in 1904, Grove residents voted 122 to 35 for incorporation as an autonomous borough. On May 24, 1905, Governor of New Jersey Edward C. Stokes signed a law granting the incorporation.[27][28][29]

The Pitman Grove was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[30]

Until August 2014, Pitman was a dry town. In 2015, the borough council authorized an ordinance permitting liquor licenses and a pair of local breweries opened in Pitman's Uptown business district in 2016 under the terms of a state law that allows the sale of beer by the glass in tasting rooms.[31][32] In November 2016, nearly 65% of voters approved a non-binding referendum allowing the issuance of liquor licenses.[33]

Local government

edit

Pitman is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, one of 218 of 564 municipalities statewide that use this form of government, the most common in the state.[44] 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 includes 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.[8] The borough form of government used by Pitman 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.[45][46][47]

As of 2022, the mayor of Pitman Borough is Republican Michael L. Razze, Jr., whose term of office ends December 31, 2026. Members of the Pitman Borough Council are Council President John Fitzpatrick (R, 2022), Vanessa James (D, 2022), Paul Bially (R, 2024), Adam Mazzola (D, 2026), Courtney Milward (R, 2024) and Robert Uyehara (D, 2026).[5][48][49][50][51][52]
