Washington
Township, originally occupied by the Lenape Indians,was settled
in the 1700's by German Protestants and became known as German
Valley. The area known as Schooley's Mountain was probably America's
earliest summer resort and spa because of the chalybeate water
mineral springs.
Today, the area is known for the German Valley Historic District
stone structures, excellent services, and it's proximity to New York
City. Recreation is still an important attribute with Township, County,
and State Recreation facilities, and native trout streams and rivers.

Native
Consider using native plants in your landscape. Since they are already adapted
to local conditions, native plants are easy to grow and maintain, generally requiring
less fertilizer and water, as well as less effort to control pests. Visit http://www.npsnj.org for
