The American town of Boonton is located in Morris County, New Jersey. The town's population was 8,347 as of the 2010 United States Census, down 149 (1.8%) from the 8,496 counted in the 2000 Census, which had risen by 153 (+1.8%) from the 8,343 counted in the 1990 Census. In 1761, the town was given the name "Boone-Towne" in tribute to Colonial Governor Thomas Boone.


Boonton is well-known for being a key stop on the Underground Railroad, which enabled 40,000 slaves to go to freedom in Canada. From this small hamlet, a number of notable abolitionists actively carried out their anti-slavery activity. As spectacular as Paterson Great Falls, Boonton Falls served as the center of the town's immigrant community and supported the iron industry.

Additionally, Boonton is where the renowned Boontonware melamine tableware was first produced. Visitors now will enjoy the town's antique shops, unique dining options, and scenic surroundings. The town's gathering area for summer concerts and other activities is Grace Lord Park, which features falls, a fountain, and a gazebo.
