For its first 115 years, Morris Township existed as the sole municipality covering what is now Morristown and Morris Township. English Presbyterians settled the area around 1715 as the village of New Hanover, originally coming from Southold, New York on Long Island and New Haven, Connecticut. On March 15, 1739, the village of New Hanover changed its name to Morris Township when it became the seat of the newly created Morris County, both being named after the then sitting royal governor of New Jersey, Lewis Morris (Hoskins, 1). The village of Morristown, within Morris Township, rose to national prominence when George Washington and 3,000 troops of the Continental Army marched into the village of 250 people and made it his winter headquarters. By 1860, the differences between the village of Morristown and Morris Township were beginning to show. Morristown was a small village and the primary retail center for the entire township. Morris Township, however, was a rural community of farmers. Because of this, in 1865, the residents voted to separate the village of Morristown from Morris Township. On the day before the end of the Civil War, April 6, 1865, Morristown was officially incorporated by the New Jersey Legislature. On February 18, 1895, the complete separation of the "'City from the Township'" took place, which finalized the disputed boundaries, as well as disputed municipaltiy duties. From then after, Morris Township and Morristown were two distinct municipalities (Hoskins, 2).
Morris Township, as of 2021, is governed by five elected residents who serve three-year terms of office. Every year, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are chosen from among these five residents by the Township Committee during the first week in January. The mayor and committee members appoint members of other agencies within the township municipal government.
