HistoryEdit
While Mount Arlington is now mostly a suburban residential community, it was once a thriving resort community. In the era before the world wars and the advent of air travel, it was a welcome respite for the residents of nearby New York City and Newark.
Every summer, thousands would arrive by train at Landing Station, and then travel by water taxi across Lake Hopatcong to the area's many large resort hotels to escape the city heat and enjoy the famous "Mount Arlington breeze" which always cooled the summer evenings. There was also a major amusement park, Bertrand Island, which featured a world-famous carousel and roller coaster, which operated until the park was closed in 1983.<ref>Hughes, Jennifer V. "Catch a Train, but Look at the Prancing Horses", The New York Times, November 25, 2007. Accessed December 20, 2012. "The murals are an homage to the Bertrand Island Amusement Park, along Lake Hopatcong, which drew visitors to the area from the early 1900s to its closing in 1983."</ref>
Mount Arlington was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on November 3, 1890, from portions of Roxbury, based on the results of a referendum held two days earlier. Additional territory was acquired from Roxbury on July 25, 1891, on May 31, 1893, and on May 31, 1894.<ref name="Story">Snyder, John P.

In March 2014, members of the public petitioned the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs to form the Roxbury Mount Arlington Study Commission to consider a possible consolidation of Mount Arlington and the neighboring municipality of Roxbury. In March 2015, the commission was formed with five members and two alternates from each municipality. If the commission votes to recommend a merger, the decision would have to be ratified by a referendum of the voters in each community.<ref>Westhoven, William. "Roxbury-Mt. Arlington consolidation commission named", Daily Record, March 30, 2015. "The public is about to get its first chance to meet the chosen members of the Roxbury Mount Arlington Study Commission and discuss the dominant topic on its agenda — a possible consolidation of the neighboring municipalities."</ref>
