is the July Fourth Parade and Festival. The Main Street parade reflects
the village culture with civic leaders, local float entries, bands,
fire trucks, antique vehicles, clowns, and, occasionally, farm animals.
The parade route ends at the Brookside Community Center where families
can participate in games and contests or buy a hot dog or hamburger
at the Rotary club food booth. |

| Other annual events include a clam bake and several pancake breakfasts sponsored by the local fire company. The first inhabitants were Minisink Indians, followed in the early 1700’s by English settlers. Mills and forges fueled the local economy and the villages of Brookside and Ralston were the result. The township of Mendham was formed in 1749. Mendham Township offers a broad variety of homes, from antique colonials to gracious estates. Streams, parkland, tall oaks and rolling hills offer a feeling of spaciousness in this town that is often compared to a quaint New England village. The 17.8-mile area is home to a little over 5,000 people. The highly rated K-8 Mendham Township school district serves about 825 children. The students in grades 9-12 attend West Morris Mendham Regional High School, recently rated 4th in the state of New Jersey by New Jersey Monthly magazine and offers one of the few International Baccalaureate programs in the state. A strong sense of community, a new master plan and a long history of tradition make Mendham Township a wonderful place to live. |
