Government
Local government
Stanhope is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[34] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. The mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes 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.[7] The borough form of government used by Stanhope 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]
As of 2024[update], the mayor of Stanhope is Republican Gene Wronko, whose term of office ends December 31, 2027. Members of the Borough Council are Council President William Thornton (R, 2024), Diana M. Kuncken (R, 2025), Anthony J. Riccardi (D, 2026), Thomas J. Romano (R, 2026), Tyler Simpson (R, 2024; appointed to serve an unexpired term) and Scott Wachterhauser (R, 2025; elected to serve an unexpired term).[3][37][38][39][40]
Tyler Simpson was appointed in January 2024 to serve the rest of the seat expiring in December 2024 that became vacant when Gene Wronko took office as mayor earlier that month.[41]
In April 2023, Scott Wachterhauser was appointed to fill the seat expiring in April 2023 vacated following the resignation Michael Vance.[42] Wachterhauser served on an interim basis until November 2023, when he was elected to serve the remainder of the term.[38]
Michael Vance was chosen in June 2021 to fill the seat that had been held by Raymond Cipollini that expired in December 2022.[43] In the November 2021 general election, Vance was elected to serve the remainder of the term of office.[40]
In January 2020, the borough council selected Gene Wronko from a list of three candidates nominated by the Republican municipal committee to serve to fill the seat expiring in December 2021 that was vacated by Patricia Zdichocki when she took office as mayor. Wronko serves on an interim basis until the November 2020 general election.[44]
In January 2018, the borough council selected Anthony Riccardi from a list of three candidates nominated by the Democratic municipal committee to fill the seat expiring in December 2020 that had been held by Michael A. Depew until he left office because of health issues.[45] Riccardi served on an interim basis until the November 2018 general election, when he was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[46]
Federal, state, and county representation
Stanhope is located in the 7th Congressional District[47] and is part of New Jersey's 24th state legislative district.[48][49][50]
Sussex County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners whose five members are elected at-large in partisan elections on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year. At an annual reorganization meeting held in the beginning of January, the board selects a Commissioner Director and Deputy Director from among its members, with day-to-day supervision of the operation of the county delegated to a County Administrator.[56] As of 2024[update], Sussex County's Commissioners are

As of May 2010[update], the borough had a total of 16.76 miles (26.97 km) of roadways, of which 12.75 miles (20.52 km) were maintained by the municipality, 2.24 miles (3.60 km) by Sussex County and 1.77 miles (2.85 km) by the New Jersey Department of Transportation.[86]
Route 183 is the main access road that serves the borough. U.S. Route 206 also passes through in the western section and is partially a limited access road (the "Netcong Bypass") which connects to Interstate 80 in neighboring Mount Olive.
Stanhope is noted for its highway oddity. Upon the completion of Interstate 80 (c. 1974), Old U.S. Route 206 through Stanhope was renamed Route 183. A section of Interstate 80 now acts as a traffic bypass around Stanhope.
People who were born in, residents of, or otherwise closely associated with Stanhope include:
Gamaliel Bartlett (1796–1859), first postmaster at Stanhope, appointed in 1823 by President James Monroe. In 1829, Bartlett petitioned the Sussex County Court for a license to "...keep an Inn or Tavern in the house in which he now lives, in the Township of Byram..." It was signed by the 16 town council members (referred to as Freeholders!). Probably the location of the proposed licensed premises was what is locally referred to as: The Stanhope House[93]
Rob Freeman (born 1981), former guitarist, backing vocalist and primary songwriter for the pop punk/post-hardcore group Hidden in Plain View[94]
