Since its incorporation in
1866, Morris County's southernmost municipality was called
Passaic Township. In November of 1992, residents voted to
change the name to Long Hill Township. The striking
topographic features of this community consist of the ridge
of the Watchung Mountains which separate the lowlands of the
Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and the Passaic River.
It is surrunded by the Passaic River on the south and west,
and by the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge on the
north. It is definitely a very scenic part of Morris County.
Long Hill Township may be better known by the name of its
four distinct villages, which are Millington, Stirling,
Gillette and Meyersville. The township has a total area of
approximately 12 Square Miles.
The Long Hill School System serves students in Kindergarten
through eighth grade. The town's high school students attend
Watchung Hills Regional High School in nearby Warren Twp.
