Sparta Township

Sparta Township is a township in Sussex County, New Jersey. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township’s population was 19,722, reflecting an increase of 1,642 from the 18,080 counted in the 2000 Census. The township has a total area of around 38.80 square miles with about 36.79 square miles of that being land and about 2.02 square miles of the total area being water. Sparta was organized as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 14, 1845, from portions of Byram Township, Frankford Township, Hardyston Township, and (the now-defunct) Newton Township. The township was named after the existing community of Sparta, which had been settled and named years before, the name likely coming from Sparta, Greece. Ogdensburg borough was incorporated on February 26, 1914, from portions of Sparta Township. The New Jersey Midland Railroad opened to Ogdensburg in 1872 for zinc ore traffic, but in 1882 the line was extended to Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and a station was built at Sparta, giving tourists easy access to the many boarding houses that served summer residents from the cities. Passenger service ended in 1935, but by then Sparta was well established as a summer destination.
