Hi, I’m Alexander Sweetwood. I live here and I’m raising my kids here. This isn’t the township’s site. If that’s what you were looking for, the township, school and library links are right below.

Real talk.

I love Montville. I don’t agree with every call the township, the board or the schools make, and I’ll say so when it matters. But I’d rather show up and take part than complain about it from somewhere else.

I own `montville.org` and I live here, so I figured it should actually be about the town.

About Montville, New Jersey

Montville Township is in Morris County, New Jersey, about 25 miles west of Manhattan, with roughly 22,000 people. Most people here think of it in pieces: Montville itself along Main Road (Route 202), Towaco with its train station on NJ Transit’s Montclair-Boonton Line, Pine Brook down by Route 46, and the Lake Valhalla neighborhood.

The township split off from Pequannock in 1867. A few of the old Dutch farmhouses are still standing, and the Henry Doremus House in Towaco is on the National Register of Historic Places.

ZIP codes: 07045 Montville, 07082 Towaco, 07058 Pine Brook. Area code: 973. Main roads: I-287, Route 202, Route 46, Boonton Avenue, Changebridge Road and Hook Mountain Road.

Schools: Montville Township Public Schools runs the elementary schools, Robert R. Lazar Middle School and Montville Township High School. The library is on Horseneck Road. Summer camp is at Camp Dawson, and the town fields are full of Little League and soccer most weekends.

Lake Valhalla is a private lake community with a clubhouse, beach, tennis courts and the field where LVC plays softball all summer.

Looking for the township? The official site is montvillenj.org. The school district is montville.net. The library is montvillelibrary.org. Police non-emergency is 973-257-4500. For emergencies, call 911.
