Port Republic is a city on the Mullica River, located in Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the city's population was 1,101,[9] a decrease of 14 (−1.3%) from the 2010 census count of 1,115,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 78 (+7.5%) from the 1,037 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

It is a dry town, where alcohol is not permitted to be sold by law.[21][22]

Geographically, the city, and all of Atlantic County, is part of the South Jersey region of the state and of the Atlantic City-Hammonton metropolitan statistical area, which in turn is included in the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[23]

History

[edit]

In 1774, Evi Smith, Hugh McCullum, and Richard Wescoat applied for a Royal charter to build a dam, sawmill, and gristmill on their land along Nacote Creek.[24] While it has been claimed that Chestnut Neck was settled as early as 1637, no evidence to support this claim has been presented.

In its early days, Port Republic was known as Wrangleboro.[25][26] During the American Revolutionary War, Port Republic provided refuge to the residents of the nearby community of Chestnut Neck when the British Army, arriving by ship, sacked their town on October 6, 1778. It had been used as a base by privateers who were capturing goods intended for British forces.[27] Among the refugees was Daniel Mathis, a tavernkeeper who built the Franklin Inn in Port Republic, which is used as a private house today. Some of the British ships were trapped in the creek by the ebb tides.[24] The General Lafayette Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a monument on October 6, 1911, to mark the site of the Battle of Chestnut Neck. A Continental Army soldier at the top of the 50-foot (15 m) monument faces the river, "guarding the shore" against the approaching enemy.[28]

In 1842, an effort was made to rename the area from Wrangleborough to Unionville, with a post office to be established under that name. As another Unionville existed in the state, the name "Port Republic" was chosen.[29]

Port Republic was incorporated as a city by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 1, 1905, from portions of Galloway Township.[30][31] The city's name derives from the "U.S. Republic".[32]

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, Port Republic city had a total area of 8.55 square miles (22.14 km2), including 7.46 square miles (19.33 km2) of land and 1.09 square miles (2.81 km2) of water (12.70%).[1][2]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Chestnut Neck and Unionville.[33]

The city borders the township of Galloway in Atlantic County, and both Bass River and Washington townships in Burlington County.[34][35][36]

The city is one of 56 South Jersey municipalities that are included within the New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve, a protected natural area of unique ecology covering 1,100,000 acres (450,000 ha), that has been classified as a United States Biosphere Reserve and established by Congress in 1978 as the nation's first National Reserve.[37] Part of the city is included in the state-designated Pinelands Area, which includes portions of Atlantic County, along with areas in Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Ocean counties.[38]

Government

[edit]

Port Republic operates under the City form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 15 municipalities (of the 564) statewide. Under this form of government, the council functions as a legislative body: it passes ordinances and approves the appointments of the mayor. The mayor, as executive, is responsible for administrative functions and appointment of all officials.[47] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a city council who are chosen in partisan elections held as part of the November general election. The mayor serves a four-year term of office. The City Council is comprised of seven members, with one member elected at-large to a four-year term in office and six who are elected from wards to three-year terms on a staggered basis with two seats up for election each year.[6][48]

As of 2023, the Mayor of the City of Port Republic is Republican Monica "Niki" Giberson, whose term of office ends December 31, 2025. Members of the City Council are Council President Roger Giberson (R, 2024; At Large), Steve Allgeyer (R, 2024; Ward I), Doris A. Bugdon (R, 2024; Ward II), Eugene F. Hawn (R, 2025; Ward I), Jacob Nass (R, 2023; Ward II), Donna Lee Riegel (R, 2025; Ward II) and Michael J. Turner (R, 2023; Ward I - elected to serve an unexpired term).[3][49][50][51][52][53]

In June 2018, the City Council selected Tom Kurtz to fill the Ward I seat expiring in December 2020 that had become vacant following the resignation of Nicholas Capille the previous month.[54][55] In the November 2018 general election, Kurtz was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[56]

In March 2017, the City Council swore in Stanley Kozlowski to fill the vacant Ward II seat expiring in December 2019 that was won by John Bonthron in the November 2016 general election.[57] Kozlowski served on an interim basis until the November 2017 general election when he was chosen to serve the remainder of the term of office.[58]

After Council President Craig J. Rummler's resignation letter was accepted in May 2016,[59] Steven Allgeyer was selected from three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee and sworn in to fill the vacant Ward I seat.[60] In the November 2016, general election, Allgeyer won the remaining two years of the seat.[61]
