In the late 1800’s Stewart Hartshorn had a dream of creating a beautiful “harmonious community for people who appreciated nature.” He began by purchasing just 13 rolling acres of lightly forested land in Millburn Township, on the edge of Essex County New Jersey. The area was rich with wildlife, clear streams and powerful rivers, and Hartshorn had the explicit goal of preserving the natural beauty of the landscape.

America's First Commuter Suburb
Over the years, Hartshorn energetically built a railroad station, a music hall, established a post office and increased his land holdings to 1,552 acres. What emerged was America's first-ever planned commuter suburb. Though local residents encouraged him to name the exclusive burgeoning community after himself, the unincorporated area has come to be known as “Short Hills,” the name local Native Americans have known the region by for generations.
Short Hills now has direct rail service to Penn Station in Manhattan. Points of interest include the Mall at Short Hills, the Cora Hartshorn Arboretum and Bird Sanctuary and the Paper Mill Playhouse.
