Mine Hill Township is a township in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. At the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 3,651,[9][10][11] reflecting a decline of 28 (-0.8%) from the 3,679 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 346 (+10.4%) from the 3,333 counted in the 1990 Census.[20] Mine Hill Township is a residential community located in the northwest corner of Morris County.
Mine Hill was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 2, 1923, from portions of Randolph Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 8, 1923.[21]
Mining in Mine Hill dates back to the early 18th century, and the township had some of the richest sources of iron ore in the country. Mahlon Dickerson, who was New Jersey's 12th Governor, and his family owned the Dickerson Mine, which was the largest ore mine in the area, supplying much of the iron ore used during the American Revolutionary War. The last mine in the township closed in the late 1960s.[22] The area's iron mines provided the derivation of the township's name.[23]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 3.031 square miles (7.850 km2), including 2.941 square miles (7.616 km2) of land and 0.090 square miles (0.234 km2) of water (2.98%).[1][2]
