| Welcome to Lebanon Borough |
|
Lebanon Borough, located north of Round Valley Reservoir and completely surrounded by Clinton township, is only one square mile and has approximately 1,200 residents. Known in the early part of the 19th century as Jacksonville in honor of President Lincoln's Secretary of war, the area has had a number of other names over the years to include - Lebanonville, Lebanonville Depot and finally Lebanon. The Borough was officially formed in 1926. The center of Lebanon, a charming small Borough, has changed little in the past century. The Dutch Reformed Church at the corner Brunswick Avenue and Maple Street, now known as the Lebanon Reformed Church, has been serving the spiritual needs of the community since 1747 and is one of the oldest churches in the county. 2007 saw the 60th anniversary of the annual 4th of July Parade, one of the oldest in New Jersey. |
