Stockholm is an unincorporated community located in the southeastern part of Hardyston Township in Sussex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[1] Its ZIP Code is 07460. Like many neighboring towns, Stockholm is home to a number of lakes including Deer Trail Lakes, Lake Stockholm, Lake Gerard, Beaver Lake, Lake Tamarack and Summit Lake.
Stockholm was known in colonial times as "Snufftown", which got its name from the action for traveling to the top of the mountain to go buy liquor. Those residing in other towns would proceed to Snufftown to go drinking.[2] The New Jersey Midland Railway named a station in the area "Stockholm", which replaced "Snufftown".[3] Despite the name, there is no evidence of a connection to Sweden or to settlement by Swedes in the area.[4]
As of the 2010 United States Census, the population for ZIP Code Tabulation Area 07460 was 3,457.[5]
This climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Stockholm has a humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfb" on climate maps.[6] This climate makes it suitable for naturism and the Rock Lodge Club naturist resort is near Lake Stockholm.
The Stockholm Fire Department, also known as the Hardyston Fire Department Company 1, was founded in 1955. It is located at 7 Colson Terrace.[7]
