Mendham Township and Mendham Borough

Mendham Township

Mendham 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.

Mendham Borough

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.
