HistoryEdit
Teterboro was incorporated on March 26, 1917, from land that was part of the boroughs of Moonachie, Little Ferry and Lodi Township. The borough was enlarged on July 5, 1918, by an area annexed from Hasbrouck Heights. The borough was named for Walter C. Teter, a New York investment banker, who had purchased the land in 1917 to build a racetrack and developed a Template:Convert site, reclaiming marshland and building an airport and an 18-hole golf course.<ref>Staff.

Throughout the borough's history, neighboring municipalities, such as Hasbrouck Heights and South Hackensack, have made repeated attempts to dissolve Teterboro, in hopes of absorbing the borough's ratables (the value of land and buildings which are assessed for property taxes). Some have argued that the population is too small for the borough to justify its own existence. However, all such attempts have met with failure. In July 2010, a bill was introduced in the New Jersey state senate in a renewed effort to divide Teterboro among neighboring towns.<ref>Gartland, Michael; and Sheingold, Dave. "S. Hackensack, Little Ferry up for windfalls if Teterboro is divided", The Record, July 15, 2010. Accessed December 19, 2013. "South Hackensack and Little Ferry would benefit most from a proposal to divide and distribute Teterboro among four neighboring towns and redraw the boundaries of South Hackensack, according to an analysis by The Record."</ref> The bill, sponsored by Senator Robert M. Gordon and Assembly members Connie Wagner and Vincent Prieto, stalled in the state Legislature after its introduction, due to opposition from borough officials, residents, business and land owners, and the neighboring municipalities of Moonachie and Hasbrouck Heights.<ref>Gartland, Michael. "Teterboro's fate up in air", TheRecord, November 17, 2010. Accessed December 19, 2013.</ref> Legislators attempted to include a 20-year tax abatement within the bill to alleviate the concerns of Teterboro business and property owners who were concerned that taxes could spike if the borough was dissolved. The legality of such an abatement was also called into question.<ref>Gartland, Michael. "Teterboro breakup in doubt", The Record, August 27, 2010. Accessed November 6, 2013. "Sarlo attributed the difficulties in gaining support for the bill to the special interests of the towns around Teterboro and to questions about the legality of a 20-year tax abatement proposed for Teterboro businesses, which could see their taxes double."</ref>
