Long Hill Township is a township in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 8,629,[9][10] a decrease of 73 (−0.8%) from the 2010 census count of 8,702,[21][22] which in turn reflected a decline of 75 (−0.9%) from the 8,777 counted in the 2000 census.[23]
The township is situated in the southernmost part of Morris County bordering both Somerset and Union counties. It is bounded by the Passaic River to the south and west and to the north by the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge which covers 7,455 acres (3,017 ha) of land overseen by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.[24] Refuge lands also lie within neighboring Chatham and Harding townships.
Originally incorporated as Passaic Township in the 1860s, residents voted to change the town's name to Long Hill Township in 1992. It includes the communities of Gillette, Stirling, Millington, Meyersville and Homestead Park. NJ Transit rail service is available at the Gillette,[25] Millington[26] and Stirling[27] stations.
