In 1852, the boundary line was changed so that Hamburg was again in Hardyston Township. Hamburg was incorporated as a borough on March 19, 1920, from portions of Hardyston Township, based on the results of a referendum held on April 24, 1920.[21] The borough was named for Hamburg, Germany.[22]

Government
Local government
Hamburg is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[31] The governing body is comprised of the Mayor and the Borough Council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. The 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 Hamburg 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.[32][33]
As of 2022[update], the Mayor of Hamburg Borough is Republican Paul Marino, whose term of office ends December 31, 2022. Members of the Borough Council are John Burd (R, 2022), John Haig (R, 2024), Richard Krasnomowitz (R, 2023), Russell Law (R, 2022), Joyce Oehler (R, 2023) and Mark S. Sena (R, 2024).[3][34][35][36][37][38]
In August 2018, Joyce Oehler was appointed to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that had been held by Chris Fitzpatrick until he resigned from office.[39] In November 2018, Oehler was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[38]
In April 2014, the Borough Council selected former councilmember Russell Law from a list of three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee to fill the vacant seat expiring in December 2016 of Chris Kelly, who had resigned from office after announcing that he would be moving out of the borough.[40] Law served on an interim basis until the November 2014 general election, when he was elected to serve the one year remaining on the term of office.[41]
