Boonton, NJ

Boonton is a Morris County town in northern New Jersey, set along the Rockaway River with a compact downtown and hilly residential streets. Its history is tied to ironworking and industry, especially the 19th-century development around the Morris Canal and local ironworks. Today Boonton has a compact Main Street, older homes, restaurants, and access to parks such as Grace Lord Park and the river gorge. It feels like a small historic town, but with commuter access to the larger northern New Jersey and New York job markets.
