County Living:
Everything About This
Great Area
Historical
Morris County, New Jersey nestles amid rolling hills, broad valleys and glittering lakes
approximately 30 miles northwest of New York City and is one
of the fastest growing counties in the New York metropolitan area.
It is a great place to live, raise a family, relax and enjoy life!
Today's Morris County
Today, Morris County is New Jersey's seventh largest county. There are
39 municipalities in the 477.8 square mile
county and approximately 470,000 persons reside in Morris County.
One of the ten wealthiest counties in the United States, Morris
County has long been recognized as a prime setting for business and
family.
In fact,
Morris County was Rated as the 6th Best County in America to Raise a
Family by Forbes Magazine in it's July 2008 Issue
ranking U.S. counties with populations over 65,000.
It offers historic views, countryside charm and the conveniences of modern-day towns. Multi-million dollar shopping centers and highway merchandising malls have combined with construction of world headquarters of name brand firms, discount houses, chain stores and food markets.
Much of its beauty has been protected and preserved by the Board of Chosen Freeholders through its Park
Commission, formed by referendum in 1955 to set aside and develop land for
leisure time and recreational use. Nearly 13,000 acres make up the system, one of New Jersey's finest
is noted statewide for its recreational facilities and
preservation of Morris County's natural landscape. Included are outdoor education centers, a marina, golf courses, a riding stable, indoor ice skating arena, cultural center, arboretums, and numerous types of hiking, cycling, wildflower and nature trails.
Education
Morris County is the home of three universities (including Drew University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, College of St.
Elizabeth), a two-year County College, and a County Vocational Technical School. One of every four high school graduates in Morris County attend the County College of Morris which reports a capacity attendance both for full-time and part-time courses. The high registration reflects the fine academic standings of the college, the wide appeal of its varied curriculum, and the relative cost-value of its programs in comparison to other institutions.
Housing
Housing options in Morris County range from Single Family Homes, Condos
and Townhouses in towns or the countryside, to apartment and condo rentals. You
have choices from intimate, seven-unit renovated Victorian
buildings to 500-unit development with amenities such as a
club house, swimming pool and tennis courts or perhaps
something in between.
Regardless of the number of units, location or features you
are looking for, there is a place for everyone to call home.
All of these factors coupled with a high quality of life have
continued to attract many major companies and residents to
Morris County.

Rich in historic lore and tradition, Morris County was created by an Act of the State Legislature on March 15, 1738/39 separating it from Hunterdon County, one of the state's largest counties of the period. Named after Colonel Lewis Morris, then Governor of the Province of New Jersey, it originally included what are now the counties of Morris, Sussex and Warren.
During the Revolutionary War, Morris County was known as The Military Capital of the American Revolution , because of its strategic location, which prompted Gen. George Washington and his Continental Army to make their winter encampments near Morristown on two different winters. Much of the historic lore of these encampments is preserved today in Morristown National Historical Park. |

Bus service links the 39 municipalities to the metropolitan region. Two airports are located within Morris County.
