Mount Ephraim is a borough in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 4,651,[9] a decrease of 25 (−0.5%) from the 2010 census count of 4,676,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 181 (+4.0%) from the 4,495 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

The borough had the 20th-highest property tax rate in New Jersey with an equalized rate of 4.442% in 2020, compared to 3.470% in the county as a whole and a statewide average of 2.279%.[21]

History

[edit]

Mount Ephraim was authorized to incorporate as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 23, 1926, from portions of the now-defunct Centre Township, and then incorporated following a referendum on April 28, 1926, being the last borough to dissolve the former township. Acts authorizing the creation of the boroughs of Bellmawr, Runnemede and Lawnside were also passed during the same two-day period.[22] The borough was named for Ephraim Albertson, who owned a tavern in the area in the early 1800s.[23][24]

In a 1981 decision in Schad v. Mount Ephraim, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a decision authored for the majority by Associate Justice Byron White, the court decided by a 7–2 margin to overturn the convictions of the two owners of a bookstore where there was nude dancing, despite a prohibition against all forms of live entertainment in the borough's zoning ordinance. The decision cited the First Amendment rights of the storeowners.[25][26]

In January 2014, New Jersey State Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney put forward a proposal which was intended to lower real estate taxes in the state and cut state expenses by merging many of the states 566 municipalities. Mount Ephraim was then the 29th largest town in Camden County, so it is very likely that the town would have been merged with neighboring municipalities to cut costs, share expenses, reduce bureaucracy, share resources, and reduce the burden in the taxpayers and the state itself. Mount Ephraim was formerly part of Centre Township, which included all of the neighboring communities, and it is possible that the name may be used again in the future if the merger proposal goes forward.[27]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 0.91 square miles (2.34 km2), including 0.88 square miles (2.29 km2) of land and 0.02 square miles (0.05 km2) of water (2.31%).[1][2]

Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

Mount Ephraim has been governed under the Walsh Act by a three-member commission, since 1935. The borough is one of 30 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use this form of government.[38] The governing body is comprised of three commissioners, who are elected at-large on a non-partisan basis in elections held as part of the November municipal election to serve concurrent terms of office. Each commissioner is assigned a department to oversee as part of their elected service and a mayor is selected by the commissioners from the three candidates elected.[6][39][40] In January 2023, the commissioners voted to shift municipal elections from May to the November general election, citing the savings achieved as the cost of November elections are covered by the county while May elections are conducted at the expense of the municipality.[41] Term-end dates for those commissioners serving when the ordinance was adopted were extended to December 2023.[42]

As of 2024, Mount Ephraim's commissioners are Mayor Susan Carney (Commissioner of Public Affairs and Public Safety), Michael Marrone (Commissioner of Public Works, Parks and Public Property) Joseph Wolk (Commissioner of Revenue and Finance), all of whom are serving concurrent terms of office that end December 31, 2028.[3][43][44]
