Throughout the year there are craft fairs, Victorian house tours during the holiday season, jazz concerts in downtown park, and much more. It was established by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 1, 1799 from portions of both Roxbury Township and Washington Township, based on the results of a referendum held that day. Additional territories were acquired from Randolph Township (in 1806) and Washington Township (1840 and 1853). Portions of the township were taken on April 3, 1930 to form Chester Borough, a separate municipality surrounded entirely by Chester Township.

·         Chubb Park: an 85-acre area with playing fields, skating, ponds, and sledding.

·         Hacklebarney State Park: This 890-acre park was established in 1924 with the donation of 32 acres.

·         The Black River, which bisects the park, is one of the premier trout fishing streams in New Jersey.

Black River Fish and Wildlife Management Area: This area consists of 3,020 acres in the northern portion of the Township. It was purchased under the Green Acres Acquisition Program for recreational activities, including fishing, hunting, canoeing, cross-country skiing and hiking.

Development is highly constrained due to state and town ordinance. Over 80% of the town falls into the New Jersey Highlands. This environmentally sensitive area supplies drinking water to two-thirds of the state’s residents. In 2004, the state passed the Highlands Preservation Act to limit development. In 2005, 27 new homes were built and only 16 in 2006.
