History of Morris County
How Morris County Got Its Name
Morris County was named after Colonel Lewis Morris. He was the governor of New Jersey from 1738 to 1739. The county was named in 1739, the same year he was governor.
Early People and Native Americans
Long ago, around 23,000 BC to 13,000 BC, a huge sheet of ice called the Wisconsin Glacier covered the northern part of Morris County.
After the glacier melted, people known as Paleo-Indians came to the area. They were looking for animals to hunt and plants to gather. The land was like a cold, grassy plain back then.
Around the year 1000, the Lenape Native Americans lived in the Morris County area. They came from the Mississippi River region. They lived near rivers, hunted, fished, and gathered plants and nuts.
Dutch and English Settlers Arrive
In 1609, Henry Hudson explored the Hudson River area. Later, the Dutch explored and claimed land for their colony, New Netherland. This land included northern New Jersey. The Dutch built forts to trade with Native Americans. They exchanged furs and food for metal pots, knives, guns, and blankets.
However, wars broke out between the Dutch and Native Americans from 1643 to 1660. This made it hard for the Dutch to settle in the Morris County region.
In 1664, English ships took control of New Netherland. Morris County then became part of the English colony of New York. Relations with Native Americans got better for a while.
European settlements in the Morris County area began in the early 1700s. At first, this area was part of Hunterdon County. Settlers bought land from Native Americans using items like blankets, shirts, and tools.
The first European settlement in what is now Morris County was in Pompton Plains in 1695. Between 1710 and 1730, iron mines and factories were built. The first was in Whippany in 1710.
By 1750, most Native Americans had left New Jersey. This was due to land sales, diseases from Europeans, and food shortages. Many moved to eastern Canada or the Ohio Valley.
Morris County was officially created on March 15, 1739. It was formed from parts of Hunterdon County. Later, other counties like Sussex and Warren were created from parts of the original Morris County.
The American Revolution
Morris County played a big role in the American Revolutionary War. The Continental Army, led by George Washington, spent two cold winters here. They camped in 1777 after important battles and again in 1779-80 at Jockey Hollow.
In the 1880s, Dover was a major center for iron ore mining. Many miners from Cornwall, England, worked there. They kept their customs and were mostly Methodists.
Geography and Nature
Morris County covers about 481.52 square miles (1,247.1 km²). Most of this is land, with about 4.3% being water.
The land in Morris County gets higher and more hilly from east to west. The eastern parts, near the Passaic River, are flatter. The highest point is 1,395 feet (425 m) above sea level in Jefferson Township. The lowest point is about 160 feet (49 m) where the Passaic and Pompton rivers meet.
Several rivers flow through the county. The Rockaway River drains the northern part. The Whippany River drains the middle. The South Branch of the Raritan River and the Black River drain the western area.
Many of the county's borders are formed by rivers. The Pequannock River is on the northern border. The Pompton and Passaic rivers are on the eastern border. The Musconetcong River is on the western border.
Morris County also has several large lakes. These include Lake Hopatcong, which is New Jersey's largest lake. Other lakes are Budd Lake, Lake Parsippany, and the Boonton Reservoir.

Morris County has a humid continental climate. This means it has warm, humid summers and cold winters.

Geology of the Land
About 500 million years ago, volcanic islands crashed into North America. This created the highlands in western and eastern Morris County.
Around 21,000 BC, the Wisconsin Glacier covered about half of Morris County. When the glacier melted around 13,000 BC, the melting water formed Glacial Lake Passaic. This huge lake was 30 miles (48 km) long and 10 miles (16 km) wide. When the glacier fully melted, the lake drained, forming the Passaic River.
The swamps like Great Piece Meadows and Great Swamp were all once under Lake Passaic.
