Whippany, NJ

Whippany is a Morris County community in Hanover Township, shaped by the Whippany River. The river has been important to Munsee, colonial, and industrial history, including mussel harvesting by the Munsee and later settlement along the waterway. Modern Whippany is suburban but institution-heavy, with public schools such as Bee Meadow, Mountview Road, Salem Drive, Memorial Junior School, and Whippany Park High School. It feels like a practical Morris County place with deeper river history under the surface.
