What to do...
Liberty Township was incorporated as a township on March 26, 1926, from portions of Hope Township. Mountain Lake is an unincorporated community located within the township.
Independence Township was originally created on November 11, 1782, from Hardwick Township, while the area was still part of Sussex County, and was incorporated as one of the state's initial group of 104 townships on February 21, 1798. Most of Independence Township became part of the newly created Warren County on November 20, 1824, with the remainder becoming part of Green Township in Sussex County. Portions of the township were taken to form Hackettstown (March 9, 1853) and Allamuchy Township (April 4, 1873). Great Meadows and Vienna are unincorporated areas located within the township.
