* [[Gamaliel Bartlett]] (1796–1859), first postmaster at Stanhope, appointed in 1823 by President James Monroe.

"With a new release titled Life in Dreaming having hit stores on February 22nd sitting the band safely on the Billboard Charts at #154, it seems that Hidden in Plain View is anything but. It seems that the hometown heroes from Stanhope, New Jersey have definitely established a name for themselves. I was able to catch Rob Freeman, vocalist and guitarist of the band, to discuss the band, their album and upcoming tours."</ref>
