context_page_description: Mine Hill Township is a township in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. It is a residential community located just west of the center of Morris County, and northwest of the county seat Morristown.
  Mine Hill was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 2, 1923, from portions of Randolph Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 8, 1923.
  The township's name comes from the history of mines in the area. Mining in Mine Hill dates back to the early 18th century and the township had some of the richest sources of iron ore in the country. Mahlon Dickerson, who was New Jersey's 12th Governor, and his family owned the Dickerson Mine, which was the largest ore mine in the area, supplying much of the iron ore used during the American Revolutionary War. The last mine in the township closed in the late 1960s.
  At the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 3,651, reflecting a decline of 28 from the 3,679 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 346 from the 3,333 counted in the 1990 Census.
