About
Denville, NJ
Native Lenape Native Americans were known to travel the Minisink
Trail for centuries before Europeans arrived in New Jersey. Part
of that trail cut across what is now southern Denville, roughly
following the course of Route 10 and Mount Pleasant Turnpike. Some
research has indicated that there was a Lenape campsite along the
trail in Denville, on or near the Ayers / Knuth Farm Historic Site
along Route 10.
When Dutch and
English settlers began to arrive in the new world in the early 17th
century, the Minisink Trail was the likely route they traveled to
explore the interior. Daniel Denton, one of the purchasers of what
is known as the Elizabethtown Tract in 1664, led an expedition into
the interior of northern New Jersey. In 1670 he wrote the first
English language description of the area. Some researchers would
later conclude that it was Denton who lent his name to the naming
of Denville.
Some researchers
have suggested that European settlers began to come to the Denville
area as early as 1690. These early settlers were primarily Dutch
and English from Long Island, Quakers from Philadelphia, and Germans.
William Penn and several other proprietors began to survey and stake
out lands in the Denville area around 1715. These surveys are the
first documentation of Denville. Between 1730 and 1760, several
forges and mills were erected in Denville along the Rockaway River
and the Denbrook. A number of communities associated with the forges
and mills began to emerge. Ninkey and Franklin in southern Denville
developed around the forges there of the same names. Denville village
developed around the Job Allen Iron Works.
A letter from
early Denville settler John Hinchman in the year 1800, recounts
some of the oral history of Denville from 50 years earlier, as stated
to him by some of the elders of the time. Hinchman explains in his
letter that the naming of Denville can be traced to a "den"
of wild animals located in the swampy regions along the Denbrook
and Rockaway River. The animals would bask on a knoll that juts
out into the meadows where they were hunted by the native Lenapes.
This "den", Hinchman states, was the basis for the name
of Denville and the Denbrook.
