Boonton Ironworks, Historic ironworks in Boonton, United States.
The Boonton Ironworks occupies 53 acres within Grace Lord Park, featuring stone foundations, blast furnace bases, and the Morris Canal remnants.
Samuel Ogden established the ironworks in 1770, developing a 6-acre tract along the Rockaway River for rolling and slitting mills producing nail rods.
The industrial complex influenced the growth of Boonton by attracting skilled mechanics from England and creating a community of ironworking families.
Visitors can access the ironworks site through Grace Lord Park, which connects to walking trails and includes informational displays about industrial heritage.
The New Jersey Iron Company invested $283,000 in 1830 to establish new manufacturing facilities, equivalent to 8.1 million dollars in modern currency.
