About Randolph

Comprising 21 square miles, the Township of Randolph, incorporated in 1805, enjoyed a reputation as a popular summer resort. Benefiting from its high elevation and resulting cooler temperatures, the Mount Freedom section was a summer destination up until the early 1960s.

Today, Randolph is recognized as a superb town to live and raise a family. Located in the center of prestigious Morris County, Randolph benefits from excellent schools, beautiful parks, and terrific recreation programs.

Ensuring a highly desirable quality of life for residents of all ages is a priority. Over the past 20 years, conservation of open lands was prioritized with an eye towards retaining a balance between residential development and the town's rural past.

Parks & Recreation

Sixteen miles of trails were constructed connecting parks, schools and neighborhoods taking full advantage of preserved woodlands and fields. The township has invested in a municipal park system looked upon as one of the best in the region.

Randolph is governed under the council-manager form of government. The elected council is the policy-making body and each year selects one of its members to serve as the town's mayor. The township manager is hired by the council and serves as the chief executive and administrative officer of the municipal organization. Randolph is a full service organization, proud of its Triple A bond rating as determined and reaffirmed by Standard and Poors.
