History
During the Revolutionary War, Leonia was called the English Neighborhood; this name survives in neighboring Englewood. It was settled in 1668 mainly by Dutch and English farmers, making it one of the oldest towns in the state and county. A third of the population was African slaves. It was located on the western slope of the Palisades, started as a quiet farming community. Leonia’s location influenced much of its history. For example, the close proximity to New York City is notable, with major universities, theatres, performing venues contributing to Leonia’s growth of art and academics. Many twentieth-century artists emerged from Leonia. The sleepy farming community persisted until there was a sudden burst of economic and cultural growth at around the late nineteenth century. After the arrival of the train in 1859, it was known as West Fort Lee. The name was changed, in 1864, to Leonia ("foot of Lee," Lee being General Charles Lee of Revolutionary War fame). During the early part of the twentieth century, many noted academics arrived, attracted to Leonia's small size, culture, and location, earning the town's nickname of the "Athens of New Jersey". In the 1930s, it had the highest number of residents, per capita, in Who's Who in America. Another example is the opening in 1915 of the Leonia School of Illustration by Harvey Dunn, and the artists' colony that subsequently emerged over the next decade.[33] Transportation through the town was enhanced with access to ferries and trolley systems. Leonia became a refuge for many of America's creative thinkers which include five Nobel Prize winners. For two hundred years, one of the two major avenues that run north-to-south through Leonia, Grand Avenue, (the other one is Broad Avenue,) was called the English Neighborhood Road. In colonial times, this road served as the main inland between Paulus Hook, Bergen, and the English Neighborhood. Leonia is famous for being a crossroads of the American Revolution and a training ground for American Civil War soldiers. Historic places in this town include the Civil War Drill Hall and Armory, the Cole-Allaire House, and the Vreeland House. Leonia celebrates "Leonia Day" annually on the third Sunday in May.[34]
Local government
Leonia is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The government consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at large. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office and only votes to break a tie. The Borough Council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year.[1] By state statute, the Mayor is the head of the municipal government. He or she makes all appointments (most are subject to Council confirmation), and is an “ex officio†member of all Council Committees. In addition, the Mayor has the authority to veto all or part of a new ordinance if it is adopted by the Council. The Mayor presides at all meetings of the Council, but does not vote except in the event of a tie. The Council is Leonia's legislative body, creating and passing the annual operating and capital budgets, and can enact local ordinances that create or change laws within Leonia. Council members attend two Council meetings each month and serve on Council committees and as liaison and / or Commissioner to various Borough organizations. The Mayor and Council members in Leonia receive no compensation for their efforts in governing the town. The Mayor of Leonia is Mary Heveran (D, term ends December 31, 2011). The current members of the Leonia Borough Council are Philip Choi (D, 2009), Gil Hawkins (D, 2008), Karl Norgaard (D, 2010), Tony Puzzo (D, 2010), Joyce Raspa-Gore (D, 2009) and Frank Raucci (D, 2008).[2][16] In elections held on November 6, 2007, voters filled an open mayoral seat and two seats on the borough council. Democrats ran unopposed for all three seats, with Council President Mary Heveran (1,002 votes) elected mayor, and incumbent Anthony Puzzo (1,027) and newcomer Karl Norgaard (993) elected to the council.[17][18] On Election Day, November 7, 2006, voters filled two seats on the Borough Council, which at the time had five Democrats and an Independent. Neither of the two incumbents — independent Barbara Mitrani and Democrat Charles Ryan — ran for reelection. In a community in which registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by a nearly 4-1 margin, Democrats Philip Y.
