History
While Mendham was a busy town of industry utilizing its waterways for running mills and foundries during the 1700 and 1800’s, the town did not see the level of development that many other towns in the area did with the inception of the railroad. Mendham was accessed late in the 1800’s by the railroad, but by that time much of the local industry had faded due to the competition of urban industry and factories. The Mendham Township returned to its original agrarian economy, and today you see many of the original farms of this time still preserved by the active land preservation of the town council.
