Morristown is an amazing town to live in. While providing a "mini-city" feel, the town also offers amazing trails, lakes, parks, woods, and cozy suburban neighborhoods. The town is young, diverse, and has incredible restaurants, bars, and cultural centers. The education system is also great, and the town is very family friendly! A great place to live!
I love Morristown! There is so much to do but also feels small and cozy. My children attend the public schools and are learning so much. There are amazing restaurants with more popping up daily. There are also plenty of playgrounds, parks and walking trails in the area.
Great nightlife and food selection. Vibrant atmosphere and history!!! According to British colonial records, the first permanent European settlement at Morristown occurred in 1715, when a settlement was founded as New Hanover by colonists from New York and Connecticut. Morris County was created on March 15, 1739, from portions of Hunterdon County. The county, and ultimately Morristown itself, was named for the popular Governor of the Province, Lewis Morris, who championed land ownership rights for colonists.[22][23]
Morristown was incorporated as a town by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1865, within Morris Township, and it was formally set off from the township in 1895.As of the 2010 United States Census, the town's population was 18,411,[9][10][11] reflecting a decline of 133 (-0.7%) from the 18,544 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 2,355 (+14.5%) from the 16,189 counted in the 1990 Census. Overall this is a great place to go out.
