Welcome to the Borough of Florham Park, "A Community of Volunteers". Florham Park is a small suburban community located in Southeastern Morris County, approximately 30 miles west of New York City. We are bordered on the south by Madison and Chatham Boroughs; on the north by Hanover and East Hanover Townships; on the west by Morris Township; and on the east by the Passaic River, The Borough is 7.6 square miles in size, and has a population of 12,605.
Residents enjoy good schools, a wide variety of recreational activities, and many activities such as our Summer Gazebo Concerts and our awesome 4th of July Parade and Fireworks Display. Florham Park’s convenient location to trains, buses, and major airports, and a friendly small-town atmosphere make it easy to understand why Florham Park is one of Morris County’s most desirable communities to live in. The New York JETS recently completed construction of a State of the Art Training Facility and Corporate Headquarters in Florham Park and now consider Florham Park home.

Water Alert - Water Restrictions are in Effect
The combination of extremely hot temperatures and lack of significant rainfall for several weeks has resulted in extremely high irrigation and seasonal demands for water from the Borough’s water system. With demands significantly increased, Borough residents are reminded that under Borough ordinance 244-46 the following outside water restrictions are in place:
Outside water usage is permanently restricted to usage on alternate days allowing outside water usage by persons or businesses having even house or box numbers on even days and those having odd house or box numbers on odd days, with outside water usage being completely banned and prohibited on the 31st day of any month.
For the benefit, safety, and welfare of the Community all residents are being urged to observe the outside water use restrictions and encouraged to enact voluntary indoor conservation measures. If the Borough is unable to achieve a reduction in water usage by reminding residents of the outside water restrictions, a Water Emergency may be declared which will ban all outside water usage. With continued cooperation from residents to reduce water use, we can continue to work toward avoiding a water emergency. For further information please contact the Department of Community Services at 1-973-410-5330.
