Executive Summary

This document provides a comprehensive historical record of elected officials in Robbinsville Township, formerly Washington Township. It details the terms of office for various Township Committee and Township Council members, including Mayors and Deputy Mayors, spanning from the late 19th century to present-day officials with terms extending to 2028. The record highlights significant changes in government structure, such as the shift from a three-member to a five-member governing body in 1977, and the transition to a Non-partisan Mayor-Council form of government in 2005. The document also notes changes in election dates and the extension of terms due to New Jersey state law, particularly in 2011 and 2023. It lists the longest-serving elected officials and provides a historical overview of Municipal Clerks, including Michele Seigfried, who created the document and has served since 2003.

*Note that the Municipal Clerk used to be an elected position in the Township.  It’s a guess as to 
whether E. B. Yard served the entire time from 1882 to 1923.  There is a newspaper article saying he 
was elected in 1882. The term of that election is unknown.  Meeting minute books confirm he was the 
clerk from 1897-1923.
