Millburn Township is a beautiful and bucolic residential community, located only 20 miles from New York City in the southwest corner of Essex County. Set among the rolling, short hills of north-central New Jersey’s South Mountain reservation, the township offers the charm of a small-town setting with the sophistication of big-city living.

With a population of nearly 20,000, Millburn Township features an abundance of especially desirable community amenities, such as fine dining and shopping; thriving entertainment; a highly ranked school system; convenient transportation; outstanding recreational facilities and ideal proximity to New York City, while preserving the comforts of suburban life. Home to a number of local businesses, as well as several large corporations, Millburn Township offers an attractive way of life, all within an easy commute.

Two sections come under the umbrella municipality of Millburn Township and include the commercial center and adjoining residential sections of Millburn, as well as the Short Hills area, which lies to the north and west. Each has its own post office, railroad station, shops, restaurants and residential neighborhoods.

Millburn Township, has a rich tradition that reaches back to the mid-19th century. Many examples of its history are represented by a number of architecturally significant homes and historic districts. As a 21st century community, we’re recognized as one of New Jersey’s most desirable towns in which to live, work and do business.

Once part of the Elizabethtown and Newark settlements created in the 1660s, Millburn became a separate township within Essex County in 1857. In 2007, the township celebrated its 150th anniversary, which it marked with numerous special events and activities.

After the Revolution, the area gradually changed from one of farms to one of grist, lumber and paper mills, including the one that is now the site of the Paper Mill Playhouse.

With the Morris and Essex Railroad completed in 1835, Millburn and its local industries became linked to the big cities in the east and the coal regions in the northwest. The name “Millburn” was decided upon partly because many of the town’s residents hailed from Scotland, and the mill and burn (Scottish word for stream) reminded them of home.

Because of its location and railroad access, Millburn underwent a major change in the late 1800s when the areas of Millburn and Short Hills were developed within its borders. Stewart Hartshorn, inventor of the spring window shade, built his ideal village called “Short Hills” — the first planned commuter suburb in America.

Millburn-Short Hills is home to numerous points of interest sure to enchant everyone from nature enthusiasts to die-hard shoppers to dedicated patrons of the arts.

Throughout the township, it is easy to appreciate the beauty of the natural surroundings. One of the most prominent places to enjoy the outdoors is through the South Mountain Reservation (the largest parkland in Essex County), which extends through Millburn Township, as well as the surrounding municipalities of West Orange, Maplewood and South Orange. The more than 2,000 acres of reservation include hiking trails, waterfalls, creeks and ponds, as well as magnificent vistas from 550 feet above Millburn.

Short Hills is also home to the 16.5-acre Cora Hartshorn Arboretum and Bird Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization that serves as a cultural and educational center for the residents of greater Millburn Township. The arboretum was established more than 50 years ago to promote an understanding of the relationship between people and the environment. There are more than three miles of trails open to the public, and The Stone House has numerous animal exhibits for viewing—all part of the tract of woodlands donated to the township by Miss Cora Hartshorn in 1958.

Greenwood Gardens is a nonprofit public garden located adjacent to Old Short Hills Park. The once private retreat (which features Italianate gardens, mossy pebbled walks, rough stone grottos and exceptional vistas) was the country estate of 20th-century real estate auctioneer Joseph P. Day. Later, the property became part of the estate of Peter P. Blanchard Jr., who preserved the original gardens. Today, the 22-acre campus includes the formal gardens, teahouses, fields, ponds and woodlands. Greenwood is one of only 12 preservation projects of the Garden Conservancy, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of America’s exceptional gardens.

The present library facility (opened in 1976) houses a collection in excess of 90,000 books, as well as substantial holdings of other circulating materials.

The Millburn-Short Hills Historical Society oversees a museum that is housed in the westbound Short Hills train station building. The museum features exhibits, research materials and formal lectures. The Historical Society seeks to accumulate and preserve memorabilia, photographs, maps and postcards to encourage interest in local history by the dissemination of information about the town.

A great sense of history and community spirit is evident in every aspect of the township, particularly with numerous annual town-wide events and activities. Hundreds of people celebrate Independence Day with festivities, fireworks and a fishing derby, organized by an independent, volunteer Fourth of July Committee. Throughout the year, there are also celebrations, such as the Halloween Parade, Snowflake Parade, Easter Egg Hunt, Car Show, Street Fairs and the annual 5K Road Race for residents and visitors of all ages to enjoy.

With its origins as a largely commuter town, Millburn-Short Hills boasts easy access to the city while retaining its “country” charm. From the early days when the area provided rail transportation for summer residents retreating from the heat of the city, the joint neighborhoods of Millburn and Short Hills have served as a beautiful respite from the faster pace of city living.

Early architecture incorporated Gothic Revival, Italianate and other Romantic Revival styles. By the 1890s, with an onslaught of wealthy New Yorkers, elegant Queen Anne Victorian mansions were built on estates that were once working farms. At the turn of the century, noted architects began designing Arts and Craft-style homes, and by the ‘20s and ‘30s, European-inspired Tudors were being developed. Approximately 50 of these early homes are historically registered landmarks.

Growth continued steadily, Colonial and Dutch Colonial reproductions were added, and newer styles joined the residential landscape in the post-war boom. More contemporary homes were constructed in the last several decades.

With winding streets and lush landscaping, each neighborhood throughout Millburn and Short Hills has its own appeal. The Wyoming and South Mountain sections of Millburn are steeped in the town’s history, and they offer friendly, welcoming neighborhoods within walking distance to downtown. Each of the older Short Hills neighborhoods of Glenwood, Knollwood, Nottingham, Woodfield Estates, The Beechcrofts, Fairfield, North and South Ponds and Old Short Hills has a distinctive charm that reflects its origins, while the 20th-century neighborhoods (including Poet’s section and Deerfield) display a more modern character.

Depending upon individual lifestyles, residents may choose from single-family homes, garden apartments and
