Montville

Montville is a township in Morris County comprising three distinct communities: the central township area, Pine Brook, and Towaco. Each section has its own character, with residential neighborhoods, local businesses, and public spaces distributed throughout the municipality.

Dutch settlers founded the area in 1710, initially calling it Uyle-Kill. During the American Revolutionary War, the region served as a key passage for military movements and strategic operations in the northeastern colonies.

The Montville Township School District maintains seven educational facilities, serving students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade with comprehensive academic programs.

Public transportation connects the township, with a train station in Towaco offering access to nearby cities and regional destinations. Visitors should plan their route depending on which part of the township they want to explore, as each area has different access points.

Money magazine recognized Montville as the thirteenth finest residential location in the United States during their 2013 national assessment of municipalities.
