HistoryEdit
The area that would become the borough had been known as Corona from the mid-1800s and grew up around the two local railroad stations. The name "Hasbrouck" was chosen in 1889 to honor Jacob Dillon Hasbrouck (1842–1918), general manager of the New Jersey and New York Railroad.<ref>History, Hasbrouck-Heights.com. Accessed August 31, 2015. "The name Hasbrouck Heights was chosen to honor J. D. Hasbrouck, then General Manager of the New Jersey and New York Railroad."</ref><ref>Gannett, Henry. The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States, p. 138. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed August 31, 2015.</ref> In the face of local opposition, the name change was promoted as improving the community's public perception and avoiding confusion with the Corona, Queens neighborhood, while "Heights" was added to avoid confusion with a similarly named community in upstate New York.<ref>DePalma, Rachelle. "If You're Thinking Of Living In Hasbrouck Heights", The New York Times, November 10, 1985. Accessed February 18, 2020. "By the mid-1800s, the New Jersey and New York Railroad made its first appearance, transforming the village, then known as Corona, from a simple farmland into a thriving community.... In 1889, according to Hasbrouck Heights, History, by Jody Falco and Stephen McNabb, a group of prominent residents including Edward Anson, associate editor of the local newspaper, spearheaded a campaign to give the village of Corona a new name. The residents urged renaming it in honor of Dillon Hasbrouck, general manager of the New Jersey and New York Railroad, who had been instrumental in building two train stations in town. They said the village was often confused with the Queens County, N.Y., community of the same name, and argued that it would 'present a better image if renamed.'... The word Heights was then added so the borough would not be confused with the hamlet of Hasbrouck in Sullivan County, N.Y."</ref>
Hasbrouck Heights was formed by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on August 2, 1894, based on the passage of a referendum on July 31, 1894, and was created from portions of Lodi Township at the height of the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County.<ref name=Story>Snyder, John P.

GovernmentEdit
Local governmentEdit
Hasbrouck Heights 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.<ref>Inventory of Municipal Forms of Government in New Jersey, Rutgers University Center for Government Studies, July 1, 2011. Accessed June 1, 2023.</ref> 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.<ref name=DataBook>2012 New Jersey Legislative District Data Book, Rutgers University Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, March 2013, p. 160.</ref> The borough form of government used by Hasbrouck Heights, the most commonly used system 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.<ref>Cerra, Michael F.
