Morristown is a town in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the town's population was 18,411,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 133 (-0.7%) from the 18,544 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 2,355 (+14.5%) from the 16,189 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 July 19, 2012.〕 It is the county seat of Morris County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕〔(Morris County, NJ ), National Association of Counties. Accessed January 21, 2013.〕 Morristown has been called "the military capital of the American Revolution" because of its strategic role in the war for independence from Great Britain.〔(About Morristown ), Town of Morristown. Accessed April 3, 2013. "Morristown became characterized as 'the military capital of the American Revolution' because of its strategic role in the war for independence from Great Britain."〕〔Weig, Melvin J.; and Craig, Vera B. (''Morristown: A Military Capital of the American Revolution'' ), National Park Service, 1950, reprinted 1961. Accessed July 19, 2011.〕 Today this history is visible in a variety of locations throughout the town that collectively make up Morristown National Historical Park.
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 Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed September 8, 2015.〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 215. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed September 8, 2015.〕
Morristown was incorporated as a town by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1865, within Morris Township, and it was formally set off from the township in 1895.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 195. Accessed July 19, 2012.〕

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''.
