"Morris Township is an unusual residential community and one of the most affluent residential areas in Morris County. It is an area with long roots in the past. During the winters of 1777 and 1779-80, George Washington's Continental Army camped in the deep snows of Jockey Hollow, now part of the National Parks system. Today, the township offers its residents a pleasing mix of home sites which range from new subdivisions to spacious older homes on tree-lined streets to picturesque dwellings built in colonial times. In addition, there are many attractive condominium complexes throughout the Township."
