The founders of Short Hills initially wanted to name their town "Douche Springs," but women's groups got all upset and ruined the fun. The Short Hillsians quickly realized that they didn't wish to associate with the plebeians in the rest of Millburn, and decided to establish their own post office and zip code. A train station was built in Short Hills so Short Hillsians wouldn't need to see their neighbors in Millburn while waiting for the train.
