According to the 2020 Census, Randolph was the 3rd most-populous municipality in Morris County[13] and its 21 square miles (54 km2) land area was the eighth-largest in the county.[1] The New Jersey State Planning Commission designates Randolph as half rural, half suburban. The community maintains a diverse population of nearly 26,000 residents.[23]

In 2013, in the Coldwell Banker edition of “Best Places to Live in New Jersey for Booming Suburbs,” Randolph was the number one ranked town in Morris County and fourth overall in the state citing "job growth, high percentage of home ownership, good schools, access to local shopping and community safety."[24] Niche.com ranked Randolph amongst the Top 50 in its 2019 rankings of the "Best Places to Live" in New Jersey.[25]

Established in 1968, the County College of Morris is located on more than 220 acres (89 ha) in the northern part of the township along Route 10.[26]

History
Entering Randolph on Patriots Path

The earliest known inhabitants of what is now Randolph were the Lenni Lenape Native Americans. The earliest European settlers of what is now Randolph were Quakers and one of the pioneering landowners was Hartshorne Fitz-Randolph, who purchased 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of what would become the township in the Mine Hill area in 1753, later becoming the namesake of the township.[27] New Jersey's first iron mine was established in Randolph in 1713, and for hundreds of years the mines fostered the development of the township, providing the raw materials for weapons used by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.[27] During the war, the area was a supply point for George Washington's army during their winter encampment in nearby Jockey Hollow.[27]

Randolph was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on January 1, 1806, from portions of Mendham Township.[28] Portions of the township were taken on April 1, 1869, to create Dover Town within the township, which became an independent municipality as of March 5, 1896.[29] Other portions of the township were taken to create Port Oram (June 26, 1895, now Wharton), Mine Hill Township (March 2, 1923) and Victory Gardens (June 20, 1951).[3] The creation of Victory Gardens created a small triangular exclave of the township, surrounded by Victory Gardens to the southeast and Dover to the northwest.[30]

Randolph became a vacation haven in the early part of the 20th century, known for its woods, ponds, lakes and air. Through the 1950s, farms, large hotels and bungalow colonies dotted the community. Performers such as Phil Silvers, and Frank Sinatra appeared at the hotels.[31] Boxers Max Baer, Floyd Patterson, James J. Braddock and Rocky Marciano trained or fought at the Saltz Hotel.[31]

Landmarks

Randolph's township historical landmarks include the 1869 Bryant Distillery (famed for its applejack) and the 1924 Millbrook School, now rehabilitated and in use as offices.[32] The Liberty Tree (which dated back to 1720) was also one of the town landmarks until its removal due to deterioration on August 31, 2018.[33]

The Randolph Historical Society has preserved the township's historical heritage in the Museum of Old Randolph.[34] One of Randolph's oldest streets, Gristmill Road, is on the National Register of Historic Places.[27]

The Combs Hollow Historic District was added to the NRHP in 1996 for its significance in industry from c. 1735 to 1927.[35]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 21.16 square miles (54.81 km2), including 20.91 square miles (54.14 km2) of land and 0.26 square miles (0.67 km2) of water (1.22%).[1][2]

Situated upstream of the Black River, the South Branch of the Raritan River, the Whippany River and the Rockaway River, the hills of Randolph attracted settlers and its streams provided power for industry.[27]
