LONG HILL TOWNSHIP
The Township of Long Hill was established in 1866 as Passaic Township. It lies along the Passaic River and extends farther south than any other portion of Morris County. Passaic is the Indian word for "valley".
Before 1866, this area was the southern part of Morris Township. In the 1920's, New Vernon separated from Passaic Township. The township now consists of Gillette, Homestead Park, Meyersville, Millington and Stirling. The five stars on the township seal represent the five villages.
During the election in November 1992, by a binding referendum, the residents voted to reclaim the township's original name of Long Hill due to the Township of Passaic often being confused with the City of Passaic.

Today, Long Hill Township is a rapidly expanding residential community which has managed to retain its many rural characteristics. Approximately 50 percent of the Township remains undeveloped with portions of this land lying within the Great Swamp Wildlife Preserve. In addition, the Long Hill Mountain Ridge traverses the Township and offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
The 12.1 square mile township was first settled in the early 1700's by Scotch Presbyterians. It was later the site of cigar factories, and silk and grist mills. Today there are few industries in Long Hill, and the town is characterized by new subdivisions of colonial, split-level and ranch homes built beside stately older homes, some as much as 250 years old.
Two major east-west roads, I-78 and Route 22, connect the township's four population centers: Stirling, Millington, Gillette and Meyersville. Bus service and the New Jersey Transit railroad offers residents commutation throughout the metropolitan area.
