According to British colonial records, the first permanent European settlement at Morristown occurred in 1715, when a settlement was founded as ''New Hanover'' by migrants from New York and Connecticut. Morris County was created on March 15, 1739, from portions of Hunterdon County. The county, and ultimately Morristown itself, was named for the popular Governor of the Province, Lewis Morris, who championed benefits for the colonists.〔Hutchinson, Viola L.

The area was inhabited by the Lenni Lenape Native Americans for up to 6,000 years prior to exploration by Europeans.〔Nye, Melinda. ("Panning for Old" ), Skylands Visitor. Accessed December 19, 2012.〕 The first European settlements in this portion of New Jersey were established by the Swedes and Dutch in the early 17th century, when a significant trade in furs existed between the natives and the Europeans at temporary posts. It became part of the Dutch colony of ''New Netherland'', but the English seized control of the region in 1664, which was granted to Sir George Carteret and John Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley of Stratton, as the ''Province of New Jersey''.
