About Morristown, NJ

A charming, sociable town with tons of character and history

Known as “the military capital of the American Revolution,” Morristown is an area rich with history and old charm. Strategically located between Philadelphia and New York, this became a military hub in the late 1700s largely because of its ideal location. Since then, the area has rapidly increased in popularity due to its charm and well-known downtown area. Homes here are extremely traditional, with tons of red brick and white, detailed columns. Neighborhoods have a suburban feel, but public gathering areas are always busy and social, allowing the area to slightly resemble an urban epicenter.

Morristown is the seat of Morris County, which also houses Parsippany & Morris Plains
