Morris
County Towns: Mendham Borough and Mendham Twp.
Mendham
Borough is a picturesque close-knit community with a small
town atmosphere and a historic past dating back to Colonial days. At present, the Borough remains only partially developed, and its many fine residential subdivisions reflect earlier architectural periods.
The borough split from Mendham Township in 1906 when
residents wanted to build a public water system.
The same concern for historic preservation is evident along Route 24, the main commercial thoroughfare. Small offices and shops are found in well-maintained Colonial and Victorian frame
dwellings. The Town Hall is located in Phoenix House, one of the finest examples of Federal architecture in Morris County, and the historic 1740’s Ebenezer Byram home is now the well-known Black Horse Inn.
Mendham is generally characterized as an upper income residential community with residents commuting to New York City and North Jersey business and industrial firms. Route 24 provides quick access to major metropolitan arterial highways, such as routes 280, 287, and I-80.
The Borough has an excellent public elementary school system. Secondary school students attend West Morris Mendham Regional High School. In addition, many fine private schools are available within the region.
School Districts
Mendham
Borough has a K - 8 district comprised of the new Hilltop
School, K - 4, and Mountain View School, 5 - 8. Grades 9 -
12 attend West Morris Mendham High School, recently ranked
4th by New Jersey Monthly magazine. Mendham boasts one of
the few International Baccalaureate programs in the state.
Mendham Borough School District, 12 Hilltop Road, Mendham 07945, (973) 543-4804; West Morris Regional High School District, Four Bridges Road, Chester 07930, (908) 879-6404
Mendham Township
The township, which encircles Mendham Borough, is an affluent community primarily made up of the Ralston and Brookside neighborhoods and some sprawling estates and farms. Incorporated in 1749, with the exception of one restaurant, it is completely residential.
Mendham
Township offers a broad variety of homes, from antique
colonials to gracious estates. Streams, parkland, tall
oaks and rolling hills offer a feeling of spaciousness in
this town that is often compared to a quaint New England
village.
Mendham Township lies in the southern part of Morris
County, just a few miles west of Morristown and less than
one hour from New York City. Bucolic, historic,
traditional and prosperous are often used to describe
Mendham Township.
An annual event in Brookside, the governmental center of
the township, is the July Fourth Parade and Festival. The
Main Street parade reflects the village culture with civic
leaders, local float entries, bands, fire trucks, antique
vehicles, clowns, and, occasionally, farm animals. The
parade route ends at the Brookside Community Center where
families can participate in games and contests or buy a
hot dog or hamburger at the Rotary club food booth.
School Districts
The
highly rated K-8 Mendham Township school district serves
about 825 children. The students in grades 9-12 attend
West Morris Mendham Regional High School, recently rated
4th in the state of New Jersey by New Jersey Monthly
magazine and offers one of the few International
Baccalaureate programs in the state.
Mendham Township School District, West Main Street, Brookside 07926, (973) 543-2323; West Morris Regional High School District, Four Bridges Road, Chester 07930, (908) 879-6404

owner and his family, an Apothecary that doubles as a
general store also staffed by the owner and family, a
