Description
The agricultural communities of what now comprise
Parsippany-Troy Hills were settled in the mid-eighteenth
century, but time has destroyed many of the artifacts of the
area's early years. Evidence of rock shelters that were used by
the Lenni-Lenape Indians is still present, but the farms that
once existed have been replaced by modern developments.
Lake Passaic, formed by a receding ancient glacier, once
covered Parsippany-Troy Hills. This geological phenomenon
left behind fascinating rock formations and a rich, fertile soil.
The Baldwins, Smiths, Farrands, Bateses, Condits, Mitchells,
Howells, Cobbs, Ogdens, Kitchells, and Motts are prominent
families who worked the land together to lay the economic
and cultural foundations of these early communities.
