Morris County, New Jersey's seventh largest county, nestles amid rolling hills, broad valleys and glittering lakes in the center of Northern New Jersey. In the early 1700s, permanent settlers established Morristown and began to mine the magnetic iron core found nearby. Soon, iron forges and furnaces sprang up throughout the county. The abundant source of munitions and the protection of the surrounding mountains attracted George Washington to the area. Today the county is known as the "Military Capital of the American Revolution." Here General George Washington's Continental Army encamped during two winters of the Revolutionary War. Washington used the Jacob Ford House in Morristown as his Revolutionary Headquarters that terrible winter of 1779-1780, while his troops camped at nearby Jockey Hollow. Other famous Revolutionary figures also made their mark on Morris County. Alexander Hamilton courted Betsy Schuyler here, and Benedict Arnold was court marshaled for misconduct and sentenced to a public reprimand at Dickerson's Tavern, on the Morristown Green.
The American Industrial Revolution featured prominently here with the perfection of the telegraph by Alfred Vail and Samuel Morse at the Vail Homestead Farm on Speedwell Avenue. The Morris Canal, conceived by George Macculloch, was considered to be one of the most accomplished engineering feats of the time. Thomas Nast, a nationally recognized political cartoonist who lived in Morristown, created the Santa Claus character we all know today. By the 1880's, New York City millionaires discovered Morristown and the Gilded Age began.
Over the years, Morris County has emerged as a leading business center. More than 50 Fortune 500 firms have headquarters, offices or a major facility in the county.
The "new" Morris County Courthouse was built between 1826 and 1827. It was designed by two local architects, Joseph M. Lindsley of Morristown and Lewis Carter of Chatham, and is one of New Jersey’s most important public buildings in the Federal style. For many years, bells rang from the belfry at the start of court and when fire threatened a building in town.
Above the front entrance to the courthouse stands a wooden statue of Justice. She holds a scale to symbolize the balanced judicial system, and a sword to represent the protection of individual rights. Morristown’s statue of Justice is unlike most others because she is not blindfolded.
The Independent Hose Company was organized in 1834, and became Morristown’s first incorporated fire department in 1867. Its firehouse is believed to have been built around 1870. It is shared between the Independent and Washington Hose Companies.
This Vernacular Gothic Revival house was built in 1852 for Christopher Raymond Perry Rodgers and his wife Jane Slidell. Rodgers, the nephew of three naval commodores (including Oliver Hazard Perry), launched a successful naval career of his own. Admiral Rogers served in the Mexican Wars, as Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy, and Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Squadron. The wisteria, which hangs above the front porch, is said to have been brought back from Japan as a gift from Commodore Matthew C. Perry after his famous 1854 expedition. Admiral Rodgers died in 1892, and his house remains a private residence.
