Heritage Homes in Chatham NJ
Many beautiful buildings, some over two hundred years old, survive in Chatham, carefully preserved by their current owners and lending the town its elegant historic character.
Early European explorers and entrepreneurs entered the Passaic River valley as early as 1680, and the first white settlers arrived in the Chatham area, attracted by the rich iron ore deposits and fertile soil, in 1710. They soon displaced the original Native Americans who had inhabited the area for many thousands of years. In 1773 the area was named in honor of the English Prime Minister Sir William Pitt, the Earl of Chatham, who had expressed sympathy with the American colonists, and its settlers played an active part in the Revolutionary War.
The town of Chatham was incorporated in 1806 and was connected to nearby centers of population by turnpikes and toll roads which private corporations built to transport their goods to market. To avoid paying these tolls, local residents later built Shunpike Road, which exists in Chatham to this day.
In 1837 the opening of the Morris and Essex Railroad - only seven years after the opening of the nation’s first public railroad - led to a rapid increase in the population and, following the Civil War, to the development of a thriving tourist industry and the establishment of the rose-growing industry for which the area became famous. Fifty blooms of the area’s most prized variety, known as American Beauty and possessing extraordinary five foot long stems, were sent to England’s Queen Victoria on the golden anniversary of her reign.
