Town Guide
Beautiful countryside, spacious homes, scenic properties, and a peaceful community atmosphere.
Long Valley sits where County Route 513 (East Mill Road), which leads east to Chester about 4.5 miles away, meets County Route 517 (Schooley's Mountain Road), which leads north to Hackettstown about 6 miles away. NJ Transit rail service runs from nearby Hackettstown, the western end of the Morristown and Montclair-Boonton lines.
Long Valley is the heart of Washington Township in Morris County. Known as German Valley until World War I, its German Valley Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the former German Valley School is now the Washington Township Historical Society Museum.
The South Branch of the Raritan River flows through the village. Schooley's Mountain County Park, about 800 acres run by the Morris County Park Commission, and the Columbia Trail, a roughly 15-mile multi-use path on a former rail line, are close by, linked by Patriots' Path.

No one can promise that a property is free from flood risk. New Jersey's Flood Risk Notification Tool lets you look up whether an address is in a FEMA-designated flood hazard area. Sellers answer flood questions on the property condition disclosure statement, and landlords give tenants a flood risk notice before a lease is signed or renewed.
