With its motto, "A community rich in history with a constant striving for a better tomorrow," It is known as the "doughnut" around Morristown since it completely encapsulates it, and has at least five times the area. Though, near Morris Plains the width of Morris Township is less than a mile. Morris Township was originally formed as of March 25, 1740. Portions of the township were taken on December 24, 1740, to form Roxbury Township, and on Marc 29, 1749, to form Mendham Township. Morris Township was incorporated as a township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798.
