As of the 2010 United States Census, the town's population was 8,347,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 149 (−1.8%) from the 8,496 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 153 (+1.8%) from the 8,343 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed December 17, 2012.〕 The settlement was originally called "Boone-Towne" in 1761 in honor of the Colonial Governor Thomas Boone.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 27, 2015.〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 52. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed August 27, 2015.〕 Boonton was originally formed on March 16, 1866, within portions of Hanover Township and Pequannock Township. The town was reincorporated and became fully independent on March 18, 1867.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606–1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 191. Accessed October 25, 2012.〕〔(Town History ), Town of Boonton. Accessed August 6, 2015. "Boonton became a separate municipality, and was incorporated as a Town under a charter granted by the State Legislature in March, 1867. The area within the limits of the new Town was formerly part of the old Townships of Pequannock and Hanover."〕 The development of Boonton began in about 1829, as a result of the construction of the Morris Canal and the formation of the New Jersey Iron Company. The original location of the town is now largely under the Jersey City Reservoir, completed in 1904. In 1908, the waters from this reservoir were the first municipal water supply in the United States to be chlorinated.〔("A Public Health Giant Step: Chlorination of U.S. Drinking Water" ), Water Quality and Health Council. Accessed October 28, 2008.〕 The decision to build the chlorination system was made by John L. Leal〔Leal, John L. (1909). "The Sterilization Plant of the Jersey City Water Supply Company at Boonton, N.J." ''Proceedings American Water Works Association.'' pp. 100–9.〕 and the facility was designed by George W. Fuller.〔Fuller, George W. (1909). "Description of the Process and Plant of the Jersey City Water Supply Company for the Sterilization of the Water of the Boonton Reservoir." ''Proceedings American Water Works Association.'' 110-34.〕 ==History== During the 18th century, the settlement of Boonetown (variously spelled as Booneton or the current Boonton) was established on the Rockaway River, about downstream from the current site of the town. As early as 1747, Obadiah Baldwin ran an iron refining forge there using the iron ore and charcoal available in the area together with water power from the river. As the ironworks grew, workers and their families formed a community that was named "Boone-Towne" in honor of the Colonial Governor, Thomas Boone, in the year 1761.〔(Town History ), Boonton Town. Accessed September 12, 2015.〕 The present town bears only small resemblance to the settlement of Booneton Falls, and still less to Old Boonton, whose site has been covered by the Jersey City reservoir since 1903.〔Falkenstein, Michelle; and Strauss, Robert. ("Jersey Footlights" ), ''The New York Times'', February 9, 2003. Accessed August 27, 2013. "After 1830, when the canal was completed, most residents moved, and Boonetown faded into history. Only some farms, an orphanage and the Morris County poorhouse were left. In the late 1890's, construction began on the reservoir, which was flooded and completed in 1903."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boonton, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
