As of the 2010 United States Census, the CDP's population was 13,165.HistoryBeginningsOriginally, the area that would become Short Hills was part of Springfield Township, Union County, New Jersey, and its eponymous hills are thought to have played a role in the movement of the Continental Army under George Washington during the Battle of Springfield.Short Hills began as a planned community, when Stewart Hartshorn (who became wealthy from developing, perfecting and manufacturing the self-acting shade roller) purchased 13acre of land in Millburn Township, near the present Hobart Avenue, Parsonage Hill Road, and Chatham Road. Hartshorn's purpose was to create "a harmonious community for people who appreciated nature," and "where natural beauty would not be destroyed by real estate developments, and where people of congenial tastes could dwell together." He later increased his land holdings to 56acre for himself and 1552acre for the whole village, with each plot not owned by Hartshorn being no larger than 1/2 acre.Make the most of your holiday in Short Hills by finding out about its attractions and choosing what to see using our United States itinerary site.
