Biohazard and Pathogen Disinfection in Glen Gardner, NJ

Glen Gardner is a borough in Hunterdon County that was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 26, 1919, from portions of Lebanon Township and Bethlehem Township, following a referendum held the same day.

The borough takes its name from the glen of the Spruce Run stream and from the Gardner brothers, who owned a chair and frame factory in the area; the community and post office name was officially changed to Glen Gardner in 1871.

Before it was Glen Gardner, the settlement was variously known as Eveland's Tavern (for tavernkeeper John Eveland), Spruce Run Mills, and, less flatteringly, Sodom.

The 2020 United States census counted 1,682 residents in Glen Gardner, down slightly from 1,704 in 2010 and below its peak of 1,902 residents counted in 2000.

The 2010 census counted 768 households in the borough, spread across a total area of just 1.55 square miles, all of it land.

Glen Gardner contains the unincorporated communities of Bells Crossing and Clarksville within its borders.

In a 1931 settlement of a border dispute dating back to the borough's formation, neighboring Hampton paid Glen Gardner $4,000 for 20 acres of land that officially became part of Hampton.
