Sussex
County was established in 1753 from portions of Morris County.
It was named for Jonathan Belcher, Royal Governor of New Jersey.
It originally contained all the land north and west of the Musconetcong
River, including the area of Warren County. The first settlement
by European colonists began in the late 1690's by Dutch settlers
from New York along the Delaware River. Sussex County features
a mix of farmland, forests and suburban areas and is considered
a "bedroom community" as most residents commute to neighboring
counties (Bergen, Essex and Morris Counties) or to New York City
for work.
