Glen Gardner is a borough in Hunterdon County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 1,682,[9] a decrease of 22 (−1.3%) from the 2010 census count of 1,704,[18][19] which in turn reflected a decline of 198 (−10.4%) from the 1,902 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

Glen Gardner is located at the extreme western border of Lebanon Township and was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 26, 1919, from portions of both Lebanon Township and Bethlehem Township based on the results of a referendum held that same day. Portions of the borough were ceded to Hampton borough in 1931.[21]
