East Windsor is a township in Mercer County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Located at the cross-roads between the Delaware Valley region to the southwest and the Raritan Valley region to the northeast, the township is an outer-ring suburb of New York City in the New York Metropolitan area, as defined by the United States Census Bureau,[17] but directly borders the Philadelphia metropolitan area and is part of the Federal Communications Commission's Philadelphia Designated Market Area.[18] Since East Windsor is situated at the confluence of several major highways that serve both the major cities of New York City and Philadelphia, and even the local commercial hubs of nearby Freehold, Princeton, and the state capital of Trenton, the community has been a longtime residential, commercial, and industrial hub in the heart of Central New Jersey.[19]

As of the 2020 United States census, East Windsor's population was 30,045,[8][9] its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 2,855 (+10.5%) from the 27,190 recorded at the 2010 census,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 2,271 (+9.1%) from the 24,919 counted in the 2000 census.[22]

Both East Windsor and West Windsor were formed when Windsor Township was split on February 9, 1797, while the area was still part of Middlesex County. It was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798, as one of New Jersey's initial group of 104 townships. Portions of the township were taken to form Hightstown borough (March 5, 1853, within East Windsor; became independent c. 1894) and Washington Township (March 11, 1860, and known as Robbinsville Township since 2007).[23] The township was named for Windsor Township, which was named for Windsor, England.[24]

## Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 15.66 square miles (40.55 km2), including 15.57 square miles (40.32 km2) of land and 0.09 square miles (0.23 km2) of water (0.57%).[1][2]

Rolling fields in East Windsor

Twin Rivers (2010 Census population of 7,443[25]) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within East Windsor Township.[26] According to "New Jersey: A Guide to the State" by Barbara Westergaard, Twin Rivers was "New Jersey's first planned unit development" and "has attracted the scrutiny of countless researchers, from sociologists and anthropologists to specialists in energy conservation." Other unincorporated communities, localities and place names located completely or partially within East Windsor include Allens Station,[citation needed] Eilers Corner, Etra, Hickory Corner, Locust Corner, Millstone[citation needed] and Washington Oak.[27]

The township borders Robbinsville Township and West Windsor Township in Mercer County; Cranbury Township, Monroe Township and Plainsboro Township in Middlesex County; and both Millstone Township and Upper Freehold Township in Monmouth County.[28][29][30] East Windsor completely surrounds the independent borough of Hightstown, making it part one of 21 pairs of "doughnut towns" in the state, where one municipality entirely surrounds another.[31]

The Meadow Lakes continuing care retirement community occupies a 100-acre (40 ha) site that straddles the East Windsor-Hightstown boundary line.[32]

## Government

[edit]

### Local government

[edit]

East Windsor Municipal Building, built in 1982 using earth sheltering to reduce energy costs

East Windsor has been governed since 1970[49] within the Faulkner Act, formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law, under the Council-Manager form of government. The township is one of 42 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use this form of government.[50] The council is comprised of seven members elected at-large for four-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either three or four seats up for vote in odd-numbered years as part of the November general election.[49] In a reorganization meeting held each January, the council selects a mayor and a deputy mayor from among its members for a one-year term.[49][6][51][52]

As of 2023[update], members of the East Windsor Council are Mayor Janice S. Mironov (D, term on council ends December 31, 2027; term as mayor ends 2025), Deputy Mayor David Russell (D, term on council and as deputy mayor ends 2025), Denise Daniels (D, 2025), Anthony Katawick (D, 2027), Marc Lippman (D, 2027), Johnnie Whittington (D, 2025; elected to serve an unexpired term) and John Zoller (D, 2027).[3][53][54][55][56]

Johnnie Whittington was appointed to fill a seat expiring in December 2025 that became vacant following the death of Alan Rosenberg and served on an interim basis until the November 2023 election when he was chosen by voters to serve the balance of the term of office.[57]

In December 2015, the Township Council appointed Denise Daniels to fill the seat expiring in December 2017 that became vacant following the death of Hector Duke earlier that month.[58]

Designed during the 1970s energy crisis and constructed in 1982, the township's municipal building was erected within a landscaped man-made hill, with only its south side exposed. The design allows the building to maintain a comfortable climate inside for most of the year, with greatly reduced energy needs.[59] The passive solar design allows the building to reduce energy consumption by 60% compared to conventional office buildings of the same size.[60]

#### Cyber breach

[edit]

Form filed by East Windsor Township which conflicts with the timeline provided to residents and State and Federal officials.

On February 24, 2022, the computer servers of the East Windsor Municipal Offices were breached.[61] Numerous residents contacted the Township to report the issue, which went unacknowledged for nearly two weeks. East Windsor officials said they first became aware of a municipal cyber breach on March 7, but a letter confirming receipt of an insurance claim contains a loss date from six days earlier.[62] The Windsor-Hights Herald contacted Mayor Mironov by email March 7 and March 14 for comment and explanation, but she did not respond.[63] By March 17, the Township was still attempting to restore operations.[64] Several residents who were professional IT managers and cybersecurity experts offered to assist for free, but were never contacted back by the township.[65] Two months after the initial incident, Township officials had not divulged who was behind the hack or any of the steps taken to prevent future incidents.[66] On May 9, a local cybersecurity expert[67] filed a 13-item Open Public Records Act request with the Township, including requests for "All documentation as to the scope and nature of the incident that is currently known” and “all documentation as to what personal records were released”. Those records were received on May 19 by the resident and the Windsor-Hights Herald. The records contradicted the timeline provided by the Township.[68] The incident received national and international coverage, as it was reported nationally by MSN.[69] It was reported on NJ.com on May 10 that while the Township had claimed to first be aware of the breach on March 7, the Township had actually submitted an insurance claim six days earlier. On May 26, it was reported that unauthorized access to the system also allowed access to certain data relating to individuals associated with the township.[70] It was reported on May 31, 2022, that Township Manager Jim Brady received an email March 2 from a cyber threat intelligence analyst from the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC), which stated that the agency's email security tool had picked up a few emails that used a display name to spoof—or impersonate—East Windsor Township email users. Brady replied March 3 to the cyber threat intelligence analyst, and wrote that the Township was aware of the issue despite the later claim that the Township was not yet aware of the incident[71] It was also reported that over 900 people have had their personal information compromised—potentially including their birth date, driver's license and social security number—following the cyber breach.[72]

#### Emergency services

[edit]

East Windsor is served by East Windsor Rescue Squad District I (Squad 142)[73] and Rescue Squad District II (Squad 146).[74] Fire protection is provided by East Windsor Volunteer Fire Department 1 (Station 42)[75] and Volunteer Fire Department 2 (Station 46).[76] The Township is split for faster response times, with Rescue Squad District II and Fire Department 2 serving Twin Rivers and the eastern portion of the Township.[77]

The East Windsor Police Department, located on One Mile Road, is led by Chief James A. Geary,[78] and employs 30 uniformed patrol and Traffic Enforcement Officers, 5 Detectives, 7 Dispatchers and Communications Officers and two Animal Control Officers, for a total of 43 sworn officers.[79]
