About the Community:
West Orange, New Jersey, originated as the town of Fairmount in 1862, becoming West Orange in 1863. However, its historical roots trace back almost 200 years before, to the time before the American Revolution. In 1666, a group of Puritans led by Robert Treat left Connecticut seeking religious freedom, eventually settling along the Passaic River. They secured land from the Hackensack Indians, which encompassed what is now Essex County, including present-day West Orange.
Over time, the Newark settlement expanded westward, and the settlers in the mountainous regions were known as the Mountain Society. As the population grew, the name Orangefield was used in honor of Prince William of Orange, though this later evolved into simply Orange by the late 18th century. Orange became a separate township in 1806, and in 1862, West Orange began to take shape after a dispute over education led to the creation of Fairmount Township. The following year, Fairmount combined with more land from Orange, and West Orange was officially formed.
The towns early settlers, such as Anthony Olef in 1678, played pivotal roles in shaping the area. Olef, the first permanent settler, lived within the present-day boundaries of Llewellyn Park, and his grave is believed to be the oldest in Essex County. West Orange is also famously home to inventor Thomas Edison, but the town's history extends beyond his legacy.
Today, West Orange is a diverse community that prides itself on preserving its rich history. Residents celebrate this heritage, recognizing the importance of understanding their past to shape their future.
