Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Although it wasn't chartered until 1867, the town has a history that dates back to 1761 when it was called "Boone-Towne," with props to Thomas Boone, the seventh Colonial Governor of New Jersey in 1760. He must have been special because barely a year later, he was appointed Governor of South Carolina. His replacement, Thomas Hardy, didn't get any towns named after him in New Jersey or anyplace else.
With only about 2.5 square miles and a U.S. Census population of 8,496 in 2010, Boonton should remain content as a sleepy town in Morris County, New Jersey. But the locals are quick to point out that such major corporations as Unigen for pharmaceuticals, Marsen for industrial manufacturing and Packard for antique automotive equipment provide ample support for the local economy. The town also provides historic buildings and annual events to keep its residents happy. View Boonton City Guide
