The History
of Beautiful
Short Hills and Millburn
New Jersey
Millburn
began as a colonial settlement with agricultural origins, followed
by a 19th century mill/factory economy and eventually became
a Victorian and later residential community. There are many
examples of this rich history still present in the township,
from the Hessian House, the Cora Hartshorn Arboretum, the Paper
Mill Playhouse, and the many beautiful homes from all phases
of our history, to our two historic districts, Short Hills Park
and Wyoming.
Millburn
Township was once part of Elizabethtown and Newark settlements
in New Jersey, created by a grant from Charles II to his brother
James in 1664. In 1793 Springfield Township was created and
it included Millburn. In 1857 Springfield became part of the
new Union County and Millburn became a separate township within
Essex County.
Short Hills began as an unincorporated community in 1874, when
Stewart Hartshorn purchased 13 acres of land in Millburn Township,
near the present Hobart Avenue, Parsonage Hill Road, and Chatham
Road. Hartshorn's purpose was to create "a harmonious community
for people who appreciated nature," and "where natural
beauty would not be destroyed by real estate developments, and
where people of congenial tastes could dwell together."
He later increased his land holdings to 56 acres for himself
and 1,552 acres for the whole village.
Hartshorn chose the name "Short Hills" because it
reflected the topography of the region, and also because the
local Lenape Native Americans used that same name to describe
the region. One local resident suggested that he call his village
"Hartshornville," but he definitively refused.
