About Stirling
Stirling is a quiet, friendly community set in Morris County's Long Hill Township. Home to around 2,500 residents, it sits centrally between neighboring Gillette and Millington along the Passaic River. Commuters love having a dedicated NJ Transit station on the Gladstone Branch right in the neighborhood, which makes train trips into Manhattan or Hoboken smooth and convenient.
The neighborhood traces its roots back to the 1700s, named after Revolutionary War general Lord Stirling. Today, it offers a relaxed suburban pace with great everyday perks for families, including Central Middle School right within the community. Between classic local gathering spots like the historic Stirling Hotel, easy access to the Great Swamp's nature trails, and Long Hill's strong school system, it is a comfortable place to settle down.
