The township is situated in the westernmost part of Morris County bordering both Hunterdon and Warren counties. It is located within the Raritan Valley region and is one of six municipalities (five of which are townships) in the state with the name "Washington".[13] Washington Borough, located only 10miles away, is surrounded by another municipality that is also called Washington Township in Warren County.

The township has been ranked as one of the state's highest-income communities. Based on data from the American Community Survey (ACS) for 2014–2018, Washington Township residents had a median household income of $150,682, nearly 90% above the statewide median of $79,363. In the 2013–2017 ACS, Washington Township had a median household income of $140,445, ranking 45th in the state.[14] [15]

History

Washington Township was incorporated as a township by the New Jersey Legislature on April 2, 1798, from portions of Roxbury Township.[16] Portions of the township were taken to form Chester Township as of April 1, 1799.[17] The township was named for George Washington, one of more than ten communities statewide named for the first president.[18] [19]

In 1798, Morris County's Washington Township became the first incorporated in New Jersey, but by 1894 there were 18 municipalities and other communities across the state named Washington or Washingtonville.[20]

In June 1979, a 5-year-old boy was killed by a leopard that had been chained to a stake outside of a circus, during a performance sponsored by the local fire department at Flocktown Road School.[21]

A 1983 effort to rename Washington Township to Long Valley failed in an election.[19]

Murder of Rachel Domas

On September 12, 1985, 14-year-old Rachel Domas was sexually assaulted and murdered on Fairmount Avenue by 19-year-old Michael Manfredonia while on her three-mile walk from school to her home after missing the school bus. Manfredonia, a gas station attendant who worked nearby, confessed to asking Domas out, when he was refused he pulled a knife and threatened to kill himself.

Domas told him to "stop acting childish" to which Manfredonia pushed her to the ground, sexually assaulted her and stabbed her 26 times, 15 of which were too shallow to cause significant damage and were intended to make Domas suffer. Police would find Domas's body buried in a shallow grave in the woods close to the road 2 days later.

Manfredonia would be turned in by his parents and was found by the police attempting to commit suicide by slicing his wrists and ingesting a high concentration of pills. Manfredonia, who had an IQ of 78 making him clinically retarded, was suffering from Intermittent explosive disorder. Manfredonia waved his right to a trial and was found guilty of murder, felony murder, aggravated sexual assault, kidnapping, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Manfredonia would be sentenced to life in prison as well as an additional 110 years and will not be eligible for parole until 2041.[22] [23] [24]

Long Valley (2010 population of 1,879[25]) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within Washington Township.[26] [27] [28] The Long Valley section—the heart of the township—was called German Valley when it was first settled in the 18th century by people from Saxony, in Germany,[29] until its name was changed around 1917 in the wake of anti-German sentiment following World War I.[30]

Schooley's Mountain is an unincorporated community in Washington Township named for the Schooley family, who owned a considerable amount of land there during the 1790s. The natural springs in the area helped attract visitors to the Schooley's Mountain section in the 1800s.[32]

The profusion of such names - six Washington Townships, one each in Bergen, Burlington, Gloucester, Mercer, Morris and Warren Counties; Washington in Warren, Washington Crossing in Mercer, Washington Heights and Washington Park in Middlesex, Washingtonville in Sussex and Washington Valley in Morris - causes problems.... A 1983 attempt to change the name of Washington Township in Morris County to Long Valley - the township mailing address - was defeated in an election....

  50. Kitchin, Mark. "Marino chosen to fill Washington Township Committee seat", Observer-Tribune, June 22, 2022. Accessed July 13, 2022. "Michael Marino was selected and sworn in as a member of the Township Committee on Monday, June 20 meeting – but not without a little controversy as Township Committeeman Gregg Forsbrey rejected any proposals concerning the office. Marino replaces Tyler Oborn, who resigned from the all-Republican dais on Tuesday, June 14 and attended his last meeting during the Wednesday, June 15 work session. He resigned because he sold his house and moved with his family to Alabama."
