“Netcong, New Jersey”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Netcong is a borough in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 3,232,^[5]^[10]^[6] reflecting an increase of 652 (+25.3%) from the 2,580 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 731 (-22.1%) from the 3,311 counted in the 1990 Census.^[16] Netcong lies on the shores of Lake Musconetcong.

Established as South Stanhope by workers employed as miners in Stanhope, the name "Netcong" was adopted for the community in 1889 when a post office used the name.^[17] Netcong was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on October 23, 1894, from portions of both Mount Olive Township and Roxbury Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day.^[18]^[19]

History

Netcong received its name from the Musconetcong River, named by the Lenape Native Americans and meaning "grass creek", "swamp stream", "rapid stream" or "clear stream place".^[20]^[21]^[22] Along with the river, the proximity of the old Morris and Sussex Turnpike, which passed through the region shortly after 1801, and the coming of the Morris Canal, in 1831, made the site a favorable one for development.

After becoming a borough, the residents had to elect the first governing body. The first Mayor was Abraham J. Drake, elected November 14, 1894.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}} A census of Netcong taken July 1895 showed a population of 877 people.^[36]

Netcong derived much of its business from the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, which had its last stop in Morris County in the heart of the Borough. The DL&W's Sussex Branch to Branchville also stopped at Netcong Station, with the Sussex Branch coming into the opposite side of the station from where NJ Transit's line is today. The big railroad roundhouse in Port Morris also supplied many jobs for the town residents.^[23]

In 1968, AT&T announced that the company would be building a two-story building in the borough at the bottom of a hole {{convert|47|ft}} underground. The facility, designed to connect a cable running between Boston and Miami, was designed to withstand a nuclear attack and continue 24-hour operations for as long as three weeks using supplies and generating capacity on the site.^[24]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 0.917 square miles (2.376 km²), including 0.844 square miles (2.187 km²) of land and 0.073 square miles (0.190 km²) of water (7.99%).^[9]

Netcong borders the municipalities of Mount Olive Township and Roxbury Township; and Stanhope in Sussex County.

Government

Local government

Netcong 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.^[34] The Borough form of government used by Netcong, 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.^[35]^[36]

Federal, state and county representation

Netcong is located in the 7th Congressional District^[44] and is part of New Jersey's 25th state legislative district.^[45]^[46]^[47] Prior to the 2011 reapportionment following the 2010 Census, Netcong had been in the 24th state legislative district.^[48] Prior to the 2010 Census, Netcong had been part of the {{ushr|NJ|11|11th Congressional District}}, a change made by the New Jersey Redistricting Commission that took effect in January 2013, based on the results of the November 2012 general elections.^[48]

Education

Netcong is home to the Netcong School District, which serves public school students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade at Netcong Elementary School. As of the 2014-15 school year, the district and its one school had an enrollment of 426 students and 27.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.5:1.^[57]

For ninth through twelfth grades, public school students attend Lenape Valley Regional High School, which serves students from Netcong and from the Sussex County communities of Byram Township and Stanhope.^[58]^[59] As of the 2014-15 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 824 students and 61.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.4:1.^[60] Netcong residents previously attended Netcong High School. The school closed in 1974 and the building became Netcong Elementary School.^[61]

St. Michael School is a Catholic school operated under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson, that was founded in 1923, and staffed by the Sisters of Christian Charity of Mendham starting in 1945.^[62]^[63] The school merged with 4 other elementary schools, moved to the campus at Pope John XXIII Regional High School in Sparta, NJ, and closed at the end of the school year in June, 2016.^[64].

Patron saint

The patron saint of the borough is St. Cesario deacon and martyr of Terracina. In 1902, some Italian immigrants left their hometown of Cesa, a province of Caserta (Italy), to come to the United States. They settled in Netcong but they never forgot their tradition by establishing the "St. Cesario Society" in honor of their hometown’s patron saint, Cesario deacon of Africa, martyr of Terracina. Saint Cesario is venerated in St. Michael Church of Netcong; a bone fragment "ex ossibus S. Caesarii diac. m." is preserved in this church ^[65].

Transportation

Roads and highways

Several major highways pass through Netcong, leading to the borough's motto of "All Roads Lead to Netcong".^[67] Major roadways in Netcong include Interstate 80 (the Bergen-Passaic Expressway),^[68] U.S. Route 46 and Route 183, the latter two highways meeting at the Netcong Circle.^[69] The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) uses Netcong as a control city on directional signage on its highways throughout northern New Jersey, and as far away as the George Washington Bridge, even though less than one-tenth of a mile of Interstate 80 is in the borough (from mile markers 26.33 to 26.42).^[68]^[70] Interstate 80 and U.S. Route 206 intersect with U.S. Route 46 in the southwest corner of the borough at Exit 26.

In 2007, the New Jersey Department of Transportation proposed the elimination of the Netcong Traffic Circle, located at the intersections of U.S. Route 46 and Route 183 just north of the interchange with Interstate 80, and its replacement with a signalized intersection. The circle itself dated back to construction in 1938 and was unable to handle the 17,000 vehicles a year that used the large roadway daily. The circle was the frequent site of vehicular accidents, including a total of 81 in 2007 and 2008.^[71] The project had issues dealing with the vertical clearance of the overpass for U.S. Route 46 westbound. The removal of the circle would eliminate this bridge, and the land would go to use as the new signalized intersection, with pedestrian and bicycle fittings. The entire project cost about $13.3 million of state and local funds to construct.^[72] A temporary interchange was implemented in January 2013, with the permanent intersection configuration completed that August.^[73]

Public transportation

NJ Transit used to provide local service on the MCM5 route.^[77]^[78] The Morris County Department of Transportation provides bus service along Route 46 to Dover and Mount Olive Township.^[79]

In view of Netcong's rich railroad history, the borough has been named as a site for the New Jersey State Railroad and Transportation Museum (jointly with Phillipsburg). Given that the site envisioned for this museum in Phillipsburg has been sold for development as a townhouse complex and college campus annex, it is unclear what role Phillipsburg will play in this museum. Funding will need to be secured in order to build and operate this museum.^[82]

"There was a time when a few cars at a time would easily maneuver around the Netcong Circle, built about 70 years ago. But these days, about 17,000 vehicles crisscross in and around the complex circle daily, and its archaic design has for years been unable to handle the increasing volume of traffic, according to New Jersey Department of Transportation officials....
