Chatham Township

Chatham Township is an administrative municipality in Morris County, New Jersey, where about 10,000 people live and the Township Clerk manages government services like marriage licenses and vital records. The municipal building on Meyersville Road is where the day-to-day business of local government takes place.

The township was founded in 1806, emerging from parts of Hanover and Morris Townships, with some of these areas later becoming separate communities. This division shows how the region grew and reorganized over time.

The Mount Vernon Schoolhouse from 1860 shows how education worked in this area long ago and serves as a place where visitors can learn about local heritage. Walking through the rooms gives a sense of what daily school life felt like in the mid-1800s.

The municipal building offers government services on weekdays, where you can ask about local matters and records. Visitors should know that this is a place for necessary administrative business, not a tourist destination.

The township is known for having affluent residents and high household incomes, making it one of the more prosperous areas in the region. This economic status shapes how the community looks and functions.
