}}Rockaway Township is a township in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 24,156,[5][9][6] reflecting an increase of 1,226 (+5.3%) from the 22,930 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 3,358 (+17.2%) from the 19,572 counted in the 1990 Census.[16]

Rockaway Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 8, 1844, from portions of Hanover Township and Pequannock Township.[17] Portions of the township were taken to form Rockaway Borough (June 19, 1894), Port Oram (June 26, 1895, now Wharton) and Denville Township (April 14, 1913).[18] Portions of the township were annexed to Boonton Township in 1906 and to Rockaway Borough in 1908.[19]

The township shares its name with the Rockaway River and the neighboring borough. The name is derived from a Native American term, variously said to mean "place of sands",[20][21] "creek between two hills"[22] or "bushy" / "difficult to cross".[23]

A large part of the township consists of Picatinny Arsenal, a United States Army base that covers nearly {{convert|6500|acres}} of the township (a portion of the facility is located in Jefferson Township), used mainly for the development of new weapons technologies, especially concerning anti-terrorism.[24]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 45.546 square miles (117.961 km2), including 41.403 square miles (107.232 km2) of land and 4.143 square miles (10.729 km2) of water (9.10%).[4][9]

Rockaway Township and its sister community, Rockaway Borough, and the area around the two municipalities are home to some scenic areas. These areas include lakes, rivers, and expansive ranges of mountains, covered with trees and wildlife and hiking trails, including Farny State Park,[25] Wildcat Ridge WMA,[26] Mount Hope Historical Park[27] and Splitrock Reservoir.[28][29]

Portions of the township are owned by the City of Newark, Essex County, for their Pequannock River Watershed, which provides water to the city from an area of {{convert|35000|acres}} that also includes portions of Hardyston Township, Jefferson Township, Kinnelon, Vernon Township and West Milford.[30][31] Newark's Pequannock Watershed is administered by the Newark Watershed Conservation and Development Corporation.[32] The river keeper for the Pequannock River is the Pequannock River Coalition.[33]

In addition, two sites on the National Register of Historic Places can be found in Rockaway Township.[34] Split Rock Furnace is a Civil War era iron ore furnace which is still intact.[35] The Ford-Faesch Manor House, is a 1768 stone mansion that figured prominently during the Revolutionary War and in the 250-year history of Morris County iron industry.[36][37]

Lake Telemark (with a 2010 Census population of 1,255[38]) and White Meadow Lake (with 8,836 as of 2010

[39]) are unincorporated communities and census-designated places (CDPs) located within Rockaway Township.[40][41][42]

Other unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Beach Glen, Deer Pond, Denmark, Dowlbyville, Durham Pond, Foxs Pond, Green Pond (a lake and an accompanying residential community), Hibernia (site of the Hibernia mines), Hickory Hill, Hilltown, Lyonsville, Marcella, Meriden, Middle Forge, Middletown, Mount Hope, Picatinny, Spicertown and Split Rock.[43]

Splitrock Reservoir is {{convert|625|acre|km2}} of wilderness in Rockaway Township that straddles the township's border with Kinnelon. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection spent $3 million in 2015 to acquire a {{convert|1500|acres|adj=on}} buffer area around the reservoir, as part of an agreement under which Jersey City retains rights to use water from the reservoir and is responsible for maintenance of the dam at the site.[44]

Government

Local government

Rockaway Township is governed within the Faulkner Act (formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law) under the Mayor-Council system of municipal government (Plan F), implemented based on the recommendations of a Charter Study Commission as of January 1, 1968.[61][62] The government consists of a mayor and a nine-member council consisting of one Council member elected from each of six wards and three elected on an at-large basis. The members of the governing body are elected to four-year terms of office on a staggered basis every other year as part of the November general election, with the six ward seats up for vote and then the three at-large and the mayoral seat up two years later.[63]

{{As of|2019}}, the Mayor of Rockaway Township is Republican Michael Puzio, whose term of office expires December 31, 2019.[64] Members of the Township Council are Council President Jeremiah Z. Jedynak (R, 2019; At Large), Council Vice President Patricia Abrahamsen (R, 2019; At Large), Joseph Jackson (R, 2019; At-large), Tucker M. Kelley (R, 2021; Ward 6), Emanuel (Manny) Friedlander (D, 2021; Ward 5), Jonathan Sackett (D, 2021; Ward 4), Phyllis I. Smith (R, 2021; Ward 3), John J. Quinn, Jr. (R, 2021; Ward 2) and Victor "Vic" Palumbo (R, 2021; Ward 1).[65][66][67][68][69][70]

Michael Dachisen was selected to serve as mayor in June 2012 after Louis S. Sceusi stepped down to take a position as judge in New Jersey Superior Court,[71] and was sworn in as mayor in July 2012.[72] In November 2012, Dachisen won a special election to serve the balance of Sceusi's term through 2015.[73] Jeremy Jedynak took office in June 2013, filling the at-large seat held by John DiMaria, who left office to relocate outside of the state. The term expires in 2015 and the remaining two years of the seat were up for vote in the November 2013 general election.[74]

Jedynak was designated as acting mayor after the death of Mayor Michael Dachisen of a cardiac arrest in August 2018, pending the selection of an interim successor.[75] At the appointment deadline in September 2018, Paul Minenna, a former councilmember, was selected to serve as mayor on an interim basis; the meeting had been pushed off and rescheduled for 10:30 PM after the site that had been originally designated for the special meeting was no longer available.[76] In October 2018, a Superior Court judge ruled that all of the actions taken at the late-night meeting in September at which Minenna had been appointed were null and void as they violated the terms of the state's Open Public Meetings Act; Adam Salberg was designated by the judge to fill the mayoral vacancy on an interim basis until the November 2018 general election, when voters will select a candidate to serve the balance of Dachisen's term of office.[77]
