History
Boonton Township's recorded history began about 1710
when William Penn, the Quaker land speculator, located in
the northern valley his Lot No. 48, which contained 1,430
acres (580 ha) of fields and woodlands. James Bollen,
whose bordering "plantation" stretching south toward the
Tourne was described as "situate on the fork of Rockaway
with an Indian plantation in it," mapped his
1,507 acres (6 km2) in 1715. In 1765 David Ogden purchased
from Burnet and Skinner the Great Boonton Tract. When the
Township of Boonton was created as of April 11, 1867 by "An
Act to Divide the Township of Pequannoc in the County of
Morris" most of Penn's Lot No. 48 and parts of the Bollen
and Great Boonton Tracts fell within Boonton's boundary.

The first settler of proper record was Frederick DeMouth of

French Huguenot extraction. By 1758, his Rockaway Valley
plantation within the Penn Lot covered 672 acres (2.72 km2),
and it was on this land that the large Stickle, Bott and
Kincaid farms were to prosper in the far distant future.
Frederick Miller of German Palatine birth bought extensive
land (later day Dixon acres) within the Bollen piece at 13
shillings per acre. These founding families were closely
followed by the Hoplers, Van Winkles, Cooks, Scotts, Peers,
Stickles and Kanouses.
McCaffrey Lane, the oldest recorded thoroughfare in the
area, was built in 1767 by Samuel Ogden of the Great
Boonton Tract. In 1822, North Main Street was "cut" along
the proposed Morris Canal route. In 1824, the Morris Canal
and Banking Company was chartered with John Scott of
Powerville, an important commissioner. Lock Numbers 9, 10
and 11 were constructed in newly named Powerville. The
Powerville Hotel, still standing, was built near Lock Number
11 to accommodate both canal and transient trade. It later
gained fame as a pre-American Civil War Underground
Railroad station.[26]

Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township
had a total area of 8.50 square miles (22.01 km2), including
8.12 square miles (21.04 km2) of land and 0.38 square miles
(0.97 km2) of water (4.41%).[1][2]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names

located partially or completely within the township include
Deer Pond, Dixons Pond, Powerville, Rockaway Valley and

Boonton Township is governed under the Township form of

New Jersey municipal government, one of 141 municipalities
(of the 565) statewide that use this form, the second-most
commonly used form of government in the state.[42] The
Township Committee is comprised of five members, who are
elected directly by the voters at-large in partisan elections to
serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with
either one or two seats coming up for election each year as
part of the November general election in a three-year cycle.
[7][43] At an annual reorganization meeting held in January
after each election, a Mayor (formally described as
Chairperson) and Deputy Mayor are selected by the
Township Committee from among its members.[44]

As of 2020, members of the Boonton Township Committee

until her resignation from office effective in December 2019.
[51]

interim basis until the November 2019 general election,
when he was elected to serve the balance of the term of
office.[52][53][48]
