History

Chester was first settled by Europeans in the early 18th century at the intersection of two Lenni Lenape Indian trails, and was originally known as Black River. According to local history, deeds date to 1713, but the first settlers were the Rogerenes, a Quaker sect that arrived in 1730.

Over the next 150 years, the area produced agricultural products like flax, wool, cattle and applejack. In 1875, the discovery of iron generated a 15-year boom, with the development of 35 mines and a blast furnace. Many of the buildings that still line Main Street were created during this vibrant period.

For most of the 20th century, Chester remained a farming community, just far enough west of New York City to be bypassed by the huge housing developments in nearby towns.

Chester Township is a township in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2000 United States Census, the township population was 7,282 (2008 estimate: 7,761).

Chester Township is an affluent community in Morris County, about 40 miles (64 km) west of New York City. It comprises Victorian style homes and palatial estates, new and old. Throughout the year there are craft fairs, Victorian house tours during the holiday season, jazz concerts in Downtown Park, and much more.

Chester was established by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 1, 1799 from portions of both Roxbury Township and Washington Township, based on the results of a referendum held that day. Additional territories were acquired from Randolph Township (in 1806) and Washington Township (1840 and 1853). Portions of the township were taken on April 3, 1930 to form Chester Borough, a separate municipality surrounded entirely by Chester Township.
