History of Randolph, NJ
Randolph was incorporated as a township on January 1, 1806, from portions of Mendham Township. There are several sections of Randolph, including Mount Freedom, Center Grove, Fernbrook, Ironia, and Shongum. The town was inhabited by the Lenni Lenape Native Americans, settled by Quakers, and served as a supply point for George Washington’s army during their winter in nearby Jockey Hollow. Randolph Historical Society has preserved this heritage in the Museum of Old Randolph. One of Randolph’s oldest streets, Gristmill Road, is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is believed the area of Randolph known as Mount Freedom was so-named by George Washington who would ride from his headquarters down at Morristown up the mountain to contemplate the war.
