"Mendham Township's rolling hillsides and wooded terrain make it one of Morris County's most picturesque municipalities. Many farms and estates still dot the landscape. Although the Township has experienced rapid development recently, zoning practices and selective development have preserved the municipality's rural character. At present, Mendham Township has a population of 4,570 concentrated mainly in two centers: Brookside and Ralston. Brookside is the seat of municipal government. Colonial homes, many predating the Revolution, cluster beside Main Street. Ralston was the site of early industrial development and is on the Morris County Historic Sites list. Mendham Township is continuing its efforts to preserve the historic rural character of the township. New sub-divisions are being integrated with existing development, while large estates are being converted to church and other non-profit uses in an effort to maintain their original configurations."
