Incorporated in 1740 as one of the largest townships in the region, this 6.96 square mile bedroom community composed of Pompton Plains in its northern portion and old Pequannock in its southern was once a vast 176 square mile region of rural farmland settled by the Dutch after its purchase by Arent Schuyler and associates in 1695 & 1696. The name for the area goes back at least as far as 1720 when it was referred to as a "Precinct" in Hunterdon County.
Over time, towns were split off from the township:
Jefferson Township in 1804
Rockaway Township in 1844
Montville Township in 1867
Boonton Township in 1867
Butler Borough in 1901
Lincoln Park Borough in 1922
Kinnelon Borough in 1922
Riverdale Borough in 1923
