Pitman is a borough in Gloucester County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 9,011,[9][10][11] reflecting a decline of 320 (-3.4%) from the 9,331 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 34 (-0.4%) from the 9,365 counted in the 1990 Census.[21] The borough was named for Rev. Charles Pitman, a Methodist evangelist.[22][23]

Until August 2014, Pitman was a dry town. Patrons can now purchase wine by the bottle from local vineyards at select licensed establishments.[24] In 2016, a pair of local breweries opened in Pitman's Uptown business district.

History

In 1871, land was chosen in both Glassboro Township and Mantua Township to be set aside for a Methodist summer camp. 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, each representing one of the disciples of Jesus. 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. In 1904, residents of Pitman Grove voted 122 to 35 for incorporation as an autonomous borough, and on May 24, 1905, Governor of New Jersey Edward C. Stokes signed a law granting the incorporation.[25][26]

Pitman Grove was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[27]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 2.308 square miles (5.978 km2), including 2.266 square miles (5.870 km2) of land and 0.042 square miles (0.109 km2) of water (1.82%).[7][20]

The borough borders Mantua Township, Washington Township and Glassboro.

Government

Local government

Pitman 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.[6] The Borough form of government used by Pitman, 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.[37][38]

As of 2016, the Mayor of Pitman Borough is Republican Russell C. Johnson, III, whose term of office ends December 31, 2019. Members of the Pitman Borough Council are Council President James E. Pierpont (D, 2017), Kevin R. Austin (R, 2016), Paul Blass (D, 2018), Debra J. Higbee (D, 2017), Michael L. Razze, Jr. (R, 2016) and Amy Rudley (D, 2018).[3][39][40][41][42][43]

For the 2024-2025 session, the 4th legislative district of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by Paul D. Moriarty (D, Washington Township) and in the General Assembly by Dan Hutchinson (D, Gloucester Township) and Cody Miller (D, Monroe Township).[51] Template:NJ Governor

Gloucester County is governed by a board of county commissioners, whose seven members are elected at-large to three-year terms of office on a staggered basis in partisan elections, with either two or three seats coming up for election each year.
