As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 53,238,〔〔〔 reflecting an increase of 2,589 (+5.1%) from the 50,649 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 2,171 (+4.5%) from the 48,478 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 June 26, 2012.〕 The name ''Parsippany'' comes from the Lenape Native American sub-tribe, which comes from the word ''parsipanong'', which means "the place where the river winds through the valley".〔Cheslow, Jerry. ("If You're Thinking of Living in: Parsippany-Troy Hills" ), ''The New York Times'', February 23, 1992. Accessed August 7, 2013.〕〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed September 12, 2015.〕 Parsippany-Troy Hills is the most populous municipality in Morris County.〔(The Land Past and Present ), Morris County, New Jersey. Accessed August 19, 2007.〕 The name Troy Hills was changed from Troy, to avoid confusion of mail being sent erroneously to Troy, New York.〔Parsippany Historical and Preservation Society.

Accessed September 12, 2015.〕 Parsippany-Troy Hills was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 12, 1928, from portions of Hanover Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 9, 1928, that split off both East Hanover Township and Parsippany-Troy Hills from Hanover Township.〔Snyder, John P.

""The electorate of the present Hanover Township near here turned out in force today and by a vote of 1,938 to 987 registered its approval of the proposal to split the township into three new townships. The present township will be divided into the townships of Parsippany-Troy Hills, East Hanover and Old Township."〕 In 2006, Parsippany-Troy Hills was recognized by ''Money'' magazine as the 17th-ranked of the ''Best Places to Live in the United States'', the highest-ranked location in New Jersey. In 2008, it moved up to 13th position.〔(Best Places to Live 2006 ), ''Money'' magazine. Accessed August 7, 2006.〕 Parsippany returned to Money Magazine's "Best Places" list in 2012, in the 15th position. It returned to the list in 2014, where it ranked 16 with ''Money'' citing its "Arts and leisure".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/best-places/2012/snapshots/CS3456460.html )〕 ==History== After the Wisconsin Glacier melted around 13,000 BC, half of Parsippany was filled with water as this was Lake Passaic. Around the area grasses grew, as the area was tundra and then turned into a taiga/boreal forest as the area warmed. Paleo-Indians moved in small groups into the area around 12,500 years ago, attracted by the diversity of plant and animal life. Native Americans settled into the area several thousand years ago, dwelling in the highlands and along the Rockaway River and the Whippany River, where they hunted and fished for the various game that lived in the area and migrated through the area in autumn. Paintings in a rock cave were found in the late 1970s in western Parsippany in the highlands. From 1611 to 1614, the Dutch established the colony of New Netherland, which claimed territory between the 40th and 45th parallel north, a zone which included northern New Jersey. The Native Americans traded furs and food with the Dutch for various goods. In return the Dutch gave the Native Americans metal pots, knives, guns, axes, and blankets. Trading with the Native Americans occurred until 1643 when a series of wars broke out between the Dutch and Native Americans. There were hostile relations between the Dutch and Native Americans between 1643 and 1660. This prevented colonization by the Dutch of the Morris County region which was technically included in their claimed "New Netherland." On August 27, 1664, three English ships approached Fort Amsterdam and the fort was surrendered to the English. The English now controlled New Netherland and Morris County was now under control of the colony of New York. Relations with the Native Americans improved for a while. There was a war with the Dutch ten years later. The Dutch re-took control of New Amsterdam but after a year returned it to the English. Relations with the Native Americans and English improved for a while English settlers started to move into the area around 1700. The Parsippany area had flat land and fertile soil, and a fresh water supply, allowing them to succeed at farming. All types of game, especially waterfowl provided colonists a chance to succeed. 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「Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
