Stillwater Township

Stillwater Township is a township located in Sussex County, New Jersey. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township’s population was 4,099, reflecting a decrease of 168 from the 4,267 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 14 from the 4,253 counted in the 1990 Census. Located in the Kittatinny Valley, Stillwater is a rural farming community with a long history of dairy farming. Stillwater was settled in the eighteenth century by Palatine German immigrants who entered through the port of Philadelphia. In 1741, Casper Shafer, John George Wintermute (Windemuth), and their father-in-law Johan Peter Bernhardt settled along the Paulins Kill. Stillwater remained mainly German for a long time after that, around 50 years. Stillwater was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on December 27, 1824, from portions of Hardwick Township when Sussex County was divided in half by the legislature a few weeks earlier to create Warren County. Portions of the township were taken to form Fredon Township on February 24, 1904. 

Stillwater is the home of Swartswood State Park, established in 1914 as the first state park established by the state of New Jersey. In the center of the park lies the Little Swartswood and Swartswood Lake. The park is operated and maintained by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry.
