Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boonton's origins date back to 1747 with the forgotten village of Old Boonton, the remains of which now lie under the Jersey City Reservoir. Distinguished for its iron forges and mills, Old Boonton owed its existence primarily to the waterpower provided by the Rockaway River. The building of the Morris Canal in 1825, which bypassed Old Boonton and caused its decline, was the driving force in the development of the current town of Boonton 1.5 miles upriver. In 1830, the New Jersey Iron Company selected this site for a new ironworks and imported machinery and workers from England, who brought with them their families and religions. Soon, homes, churches, and schools were built, and a town developed. As the years passed, Boonton evolved from a single-industry town into what it is today, an established community with an abundance of park lands, historic homes, and a thriving main street business district.

Book excerpt: "In 1830," Isaac S. Lyon wrote, "Boonton was one of the wildest, rockiest, briariest and most romantic places that the mind of man could imagine." More than a century later, a visitor told his wife, "May, you should see that town of Boonton. The whole Main Street is on a hill. I never saw a town with a Main Street on a hill." These were the first impressions of a town built upon the foundation of its ironworks and "iron town," populated by hardy, self-reliant men and women. Among the earliest immigrants were the English, recruited by the New Jersey Iron Company in 1830 and numbering about thirty families. Within the next two decades, Irish laborers came to work in the mills, followed by Slovaks in the 1890s ,and Italians, Poles, and Germans around the beginning of the 1900s. Two smaller groups were African Americans, some of whose ancestors had come to Boonton 150 years earlier, and Jews, who arrived c. 1900 and later. In Boonton, the descendants of these early families and newcomers reveal the Boonton of yesterday and today, and anticipate the Boonton of tomorrow. Among them is a retired kindergarten teacher who was greeted by the local "fellas" when she got off the bus in Boonton for the first time at age twenty-one. A ninety-four-yearold recalls his experiences eighty years ago as a truck driver, running molasses for the local gin mills. An eighty-one-year-old tells of the activities of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s, and a woman remembers the horror of the 1918 flu epidemic.
