II. History: Characteristics: Limited to those things that will probably
not change.
Land Area: (square miles approximately)
Population: (approximately)
HISTORY: While there were no Battles of the American Revolution fought on Chatham Township soil, troop movement within and across the boundaries was constant. Markers in Green Village show that George Washington returned to Morristown via that route from the great victory at Princeton.
Where Treadwell Avenue ends at Woodland Road, the Loantaka Encampment of the Continental Army existed during the same period of similar camps at Jockey Hollow and other areas surrounding Morristown, the seat of Washington’s headquarter.
History of Noe Pond
Louis Mulford Noe was the nation’s largest producer of the American Beauty Rose, right in Chatham Township. He may have been the County’s largest employer at that time, in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.
Noe Pond, now the location of the Noe Swim Club, was the source for ice used by Mr. Noe at his Noe Farm. It was used for the dairy business and perhaps for his rose business as well.
It was an occasion when the ice cutting took place, to be stored in sawdust in the old Red Ice House.
And as soon as that piece of necessary business was over, the children knew that for the rest of the winter the pond was theirs for skating.
CHARACTERISTICS: Chatham Township is a residential community of fine homes, townhouses developments and garden apartments that offers suburban attractiveness as well as efficient commuting to New York City and surrounding metropolitan New Jersey.
There are excellent shopping facilities at nearby retail malls in Livingston, Short Hills, Summit, Morristown and locally.
Cultural opportunities include historical, art, garden, and musical groups, as well as the facilities and programs of neighboring Drew and Farleigh Dickinson Universities.
POPULATION: 10,086 (2000)
