The official website of the Town of Boonton Covering a geographic area of 2.45 square miles, the Town of Boonton is located in the northeastern Morris County, about 22 miles west of the George Washington Bridge and seven miles north of Morristown on Rte. 287. It's an established community with an abundance of park lands, older homes and convenient access to all parts of the tri-state metropolitan area. Public transportation to New York City is available via express and local commuter rail (NJ Transit), and by bus service (Lakeland Bus). While many residents commute to work in Newark and New York City, many others work in the surrounding areas of northern and central New Jersey. Boonton residents are primarily professionals, craftsmen, and independent business people. The town's business community includes numerous major corporations, such as Unigene (pharmaceuticals), Dauphin (commercial furniture manufacturers), Carbone-Lorraine (industrial manufacturers), Packard (specialization in antique automotive equipment), Uni-Mast (steel manufacturers), and the research and development center for Ashland Chemical Corporation. We have three mid-sized shopping centers, and various specialty shops located in and around the Main Street Business District. Residential housing available in the town includes one and two family homes, condos, townhouses and restored homes representing the Colonial, Victorian and Contemporary Eras.
