Montague Township is a township in Sussex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, in the New York City Metropolitan Area. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 3,792,[8] a decrease of 55 (−1.4%) from the 2010 census count of 3,847,[16][17] which in turn reflected an increase of 435 (+12.7%) from the 3,412 counted in the 2000 census.[18] High Point, within Montague Township, is the highest elevation within New Jersey at an altitude of 1,803 feet (550 m) above sea level. It is the northernmost town in New Jersey.

Most of the area of Montague Township is public lands, primarily High Point State Park, Stokes State Forest, and Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Montague is known for its scenery and wildlife; summer sports in the area include hiking, biking, camping (both public and private campgrounds are available), and fishing.

The derivation of the township's name is uncertain, though suggestions include that it was named after the George Montagu, 4th Duke of Manchester, as suggested by King George II, who approved the royal patent on March 26, 1759;[19] for Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, an author who was popular at the time; or for solicitor John Montague.[20] Montague was incorporated on February 21, 1798, by an act of the New Jersey Legislature as one of New Jersey's initial group of 104 townships.[21]

The township borders both New York and Pennsylvania, the only municipality in New Jersey to border both states; it is a rural community that does not have any traffic lights.[22] Before Montague Township was granted its own post office in the 1980s, residents had all of their mail delivered through the 12771 ZIP code for Port Jervis, New York, leading to situations where residents had New Jersey driver's licenses with a New York State mailing address.[23]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 46.63 square miles (120.77 km2), including 45.23 square miles (117.15 km2) of land and 1.40 square miles (3.62 km2) of water (3.00%).[1][2]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Brick House, Duttonville, Four Corners, High Point, High Point Park, Lake Marcia, Mashipacong Island, Mashipacong Pond, Millville, and Minisink Island.[24]

The Tri-States Monument at the confluence of the Delaware and Neversink rivers, northernmost point of New Jersey

The Tri-States Monument marks the northwest end of the New Jersey and New York boundary and the north end of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania boundary.[25] It is also the northernmost point of New Jersey.[26]

Montague Township borders the municipalities of Sandyston Township and Wantage Township in Sussex County; and New York State.[27][28]

In 2019 only about 30% of the land was available for development, as the federal government and the State of New Jersey collectively own 70% or more of the land in the township.[22]

Climate

This climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Montague Township has a humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfb" on climate maps.[29]

Economy

The central business district, which had five gas stations as of 2019, is on New Jersey Route 23. Business at the gas stations declined after a New Jersey tax increase in 2016 since drivers from New Jersey Route 23 had used the stations to get less inexpensive fuel, as fuel in New York State is more expensive.[22]

Parks and recreation

According to Richard Innella, who served as mayor, previously a softball team for women in Pennsylvania took Montague Township residents.[22]

Government

Local government

Montague Township is governed under the Township form of New Jersey municipal government, one of 141 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use this form, the second-most commonly used form of government in the state.[42] The Township Committee is comprised of five members, who are elected directly by the voters at-large in partisan elections to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year as part of the November general election in a three-year cycle.[6][43] At an annual reorganization meeting, the Township Committee selects one of its members to serve as Mayor and another as Deputy Mayor, each serving terms of one year.[3]

As of 2024, members of the Montague Township Committee are Mayor George E. Zitone (R, term on committee ends December 31, 2026; term as mayor ends 2024), Deputy Mayor Joseph Krumpfer (R, term on committee and as deputy mayor ends 2024), Richard E.

Sussex County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners whose five members are elected at-large in partisan elections on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year. At an annual reorganization meeting held in the beginning of January, the board selects a Commissioner Director and Deputy Director from among its members, with day-to-day supervision of the operation of the county delegated to a County Administrator.[58] As of 2024, Sussex County's Commissioners are Director Jill Space (R, Wantage Township, 2025),[59] Deputy Director Chris Carney (R, Frankford Township, 2024),[60] Jack DeGroot (R, Sussex, 2026),[61] William Hayden (R, Branchville, 2025)[62] and Earl Schick (R, Newton, 2024).[63][64]

Tim Capone, the superintendent of the Montague district, stated that in 2019 there were to be more Montague students attending Sussex Technical than High Point Regional.[80] Additionally as of 2014 some Montague high school students use the New Jersey interdistrict choice program to attend Kittatinny Regional High School.[80] The report "Montague Township School District High School Route Evaluation" stated that 85 Montague Township students went to High Point Regional and nine attended Port Jervis High.[81]

Prior to September 2014, Montague Township district sent students across state lines to attend middle school and high school at Port Jervis Middle School and Port Jervis High School, of the Port Jervis City School District, in nearby Port Jervis, New York.[82][83] That month Montague Township's high school students began attending High Point Regional High, in a shift from Port Jervis that was to take four years to complete.[82] High Point also serves students from Branchville Borough, Frankford Township, Lafayette Township, Sussex Borough and Wantage Township (where the school is located).[84][85] As of the 2018–19 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 893 students and 81.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.9:1.[86] The district expanded to covering middle school with students designated to attend Montague Township School for grades 7–8 instead of Port Jervis Middle effective fall 2016.[83]

Infrastructure

The United States Postal Service established a post office in 1980. Prior to that year the post came from Port Jervis, New York with a 12771 zip code, giving the residents New York mailing addresses.[22]

Transportation

As of 2019 there are no traffic lights in the town.[22]

U.S. Route 206 and County Route 521 southbound in Montague Township

As of May 2010, the township had a total of 55.97 miles (90.07 km) of roadways, of which 25.50 miles (41.04 km) were maintained by the municipality, 23.85 miles (38.38 km) by Sussex County and 6.13 miles (9.87 km) by the New Jersey Department of Transportation and 0.49 miles (0.79 km) by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission.[87]

One U.S., state, and major county route each traverses the township. U.S. Route 206 passes through in the western part and crosses the Delaware River at the Milford-Montague Toll Bridge. Route 23 passes through the eastern part and serves as the entrance road to High Point State Park and ends at the New York border just south of Interstate 84. County Route 521 enters Montague concurrent with US 206, separates from US 206 just south of the Milford-Montague Toll Bridge, then heads northeast through the northwest portion of the township before ending at the New York state boundary.

The closest limited access road is Interstate 84 and is immediately over the state line in Deerpark, New York.

In the northernmost section of the township along Route 23, there are several gasoline stations, most likely because gas had historically been significantly less expensive in New Jersey than in Matamoras, Pennsylvania or Port Jervis, New York.
