Pine Brook, NJ

Pine Brook is a census-designated place in Montville Township, Morris County, with the Passaic River and Rockaway River helping define the surrounding lowland geography. The northern part of the area rises toward a ridge that continues as Towakhow Mountain, giving Pine Brook both river and hillside context. The land is part of Lenapehoking, with Lenape settlement in the area going back thousands of years. Today Pine Brook feels like a north Jersey suburban community shaped by highways, water, offices, and nearby wooded ridges.
