Walpack Township

Walpack Township is a township in Sussex County, New Jersey. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a population of 16, reflecting a decline of 25 from the 41 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 26 from the 67 counted in the 1990 Census. Walpack Township was one of only four municipalities in New Jersey with a double-digit population as of the 2010 Census, and it placed third behind Tavistock (population 5) and Pine Valley (population 12), both in Camden County. The current Walpack Township is named from a corruption of the Lenape Native American content word “wahlpeck,” which means “turn-hole,” or an eddy or whirlpool, a compound of two Native American words, “woa-lac” (a hole), and “tuppeck” (a pool), though other sources attribute the name to mean “very deep water” or “sudden bend of a stream around the base of a rock”. New Jersey Monthly magazine ranked Walpack Township as its 18th best place to live in its 2008 rankings of the “Best Places To Live” in New Jersey. Walpack Township dates back to October 26, 1731, when it was first mentioned as Walpake in Hunterdon County. The area covered by the present-day township was set off to Morris County upon that county’s creation in 1739, and became part of the newly formed Sussex County in 1753. 

The Township of Walpack has some history behind it, though. Visitors can go see the Andrew Snable House, which was built in 1801 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 23, 1979.
