Rocky Hill is a borough in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States, named for the Rocky Hill Ridge. It was earlier known as the Devil's Featherbed because it was difficult to travel the rocky terrain by horse and wagon.[18] As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 682,[7][8][9] reflecting an increase of 20 (+3.0%) from the 662 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 31 (-4.5%) from the 693 counted in the 1990 Census.[19]
Rocky Hill was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on December 18, 1889, from portions of Montgomery Township, based on the results of a referendum held four days earlier.[20]

Government
Local government
Rocky Hill is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[5] The Borough form of government used by Rocky Hill, the most common system used in the state, is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[30][31]
As of 2015[update], the Mayor of Rocky Hill is Independent Jeffrey Donahue, whose term of office ends December 31, 2018. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Connie Hallman (I, 2015), Robert Ashbaugh (I, 2015; appointed to serve an unexpired term), Thomas Bremner (I, 2016), William "Billy" Dawson (D, 2017), Philip Kartsonis (I, 2016) and Robert Uhrik (D, 2017).[32][33][34][35][36][37][38]
