Rich in Historic Lore & Tradition
Created by an Act of the State Legislature on March 15, 1738 separating it from Hunterdon County, the county derived its name from Colonel Lewis Morris, then Governor of the Province of NJ. The county is known as the "Military Capital of the Revolution", and each of its 39 municipalities played some part in the war effort and contains something of historical importance to this day. Preserving this proud heritage falls to the Morris County Heritage Commission, Historical Society and numerous other groups.
Borough of Mendham
Mendham Township
The Mendhams rolling hillsides and wooded terrain make it one of Morris County's most picturesque communities. Many farms and estates still dot the landscape.
Colonial homes, many pre-dating the Revolution, cluster beside Main Street. Ralston was the site of early industrial development and is on the Morris County Historic Sites list.
