Morris County Towns: Rockaway Twp. and Rockaway Borough

 
Rockaway Township
L
ocated in picturesque northwestern Morris County, Rockaway Township is the largest municipality in the county, spanning over 45.6 square miles. With over 20,000 residents, Rockaway Township is a family community that offers a unique combination of distinctive neighborhoods which retain a small town character, with lake communities, new housing developments and quiet, more rural residential areas. 

The entire community is a rolling countryside with excellent recreational facilities. Protected open space and the environment form an important partnership with the Township’s industry and businesses. 

Within Rockaway Township is Rockaway Townsquare Mall, one of the largest and most modern shopping malls in New Jersey. There are six local schools (five elementary and one middle school), with two regional high schools located just outside its boundaries. The Police Department consists of 53 police officers and there are five volunteer Fire and Rescue Companies serving the area with a combined total of 150 men and women. 

Rockaway Township, which celebrated its Sesquicentennial Anniversary in 1994, is not only an ideal location for business but, just as importantly, offers an ideal location for living, raising a family and enjoying life.

Rockaway Borough
"Rockaway Village", as it was called before its incorporation in 1894, was a center for trade and manufacturing in Morris County. Merchandise stores, hotels, and taverns lined the streets of the mining town with goods transported via the Morris Canal, which traversed the small borough. Today, access is provided via Route 46 and nearby Interstate 80.

Situated approximately 40 miles west of New York City off of routes 80 and 46, Rockaway Borough provides its residents with reasonable housing and taxes, a celebrated school system and a host of many other services and amenities you would expect in a small town atmosphere.

Interstate Routes 280 and 287, and New Jersey State Routes 10, 15, and 23 are adjacent to the Township. Railroad transportation for people and commodities is found on the nearby ConRail, with passenger stations in the neighboring communities of Denville and Dover.
