Boonton Township's recorded history began about 1710 when William Saget Penn, the Quaker land speculator, located in the northern valley his Lot No. 48, which contained by actual survey 1,430 prime field and woodland acres. James Bollen, whose bordering "plantation" stretching south toward the Tourne was described as "situate on the fork of Rockaway with an Indian plantation in it," mapped his 1,507 acres (6 km²) in 1715. In 1765 David Ogden purchased from Burnet and Skinner the Great Boonton Tract of. When the Township of Boonton was created in 1867 by "An Act to Divide the Township of Pequannoc in the County of Morris" most of Penn's Lot No. 48 and parts of the Bollen and Great Boonton Tracts fell within Boonton's boundary. Boonton Township's official birthday is April 11, 1867.
The first settler of proper record was Frederick DeMouth of French Huguenot extraction. By 1758, his Rockaway Valley plantation within the Penn Lot comprised 672 acres (2.7 km²), and it was on this land that the large Stickle, Bott and Kincaid farms were to prosper in the far distant future. Frederick Miller of German Palatine birth bought extensive land (later day Dixon acres) within the Bollen piece at 13 shillings per acre. These founding families were closely followed by the Hoplers, Van Winkles, Cooks, Scotts, Peers, Stickles and Kanouses.
Roads were early in the making. McCaffrey Lane, the oldest recorded thoroughfare in the area, was built in 1767 by Samuel Ogden of the Great Boonton Tract. In 1822 North Main Street was "cut" along the proposed Morris Canal route. In 1824, the Morris Canal and Banking Company was chartered with John Scott of Powerville, an important commissioner. Lock Numbers 9, 10 and 11 were constructed in newly named Powerville. The Powerville Hotel, still standing, was built near Lock Number 11 to accommodate both canal and transient trade. It later gained fame as a pre-American Civil War Underground Railroad station.

Home Invasion destroys your sense of privacy and leaves a lingering presence of disgust in what should be the one place in the world you can be completely comfortable. If this is a feeling you would prefer to avoid, then it’s time to invest in a fully functional camera system that not only scares criminals but proves their guilt.
If you want to gain a sense of greater control in your life, here is where you start:
CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) systems can protect your property in case an intruder picks your house or business to burglarize. Closed Circuit means Only You have access to the footage your camera system provides.
Operating with CCTV systems, we at Home Security Store understand the convenience of owning a powerful camera system and that’s why we carry numerous options of camera systems.
2-camera systems, 16-camera systems, Digital Video Recorders that store footage for weeks, wireless cameras, cameras built with infrared, dome and bullet styled camera systems, smart phone monitoring, touchscreen television monitoring- our selection of kits will suit any circumstance of your protection and needs.
If you advertise that you have a home security system with 16 cameras to a friend or neighbor, watch how conscious they are on your property thereafter. If you’d prefer to keep your security system a secret, scroll through your footage at the end of the day and check out everything happening in your territory that you never imagined could.
