Talk:Chatham Township, New Jersey

message: That simply isn't true. The 2006 Money magazine article ranked the combination of Chatham Borough and Chatham Township. Also the link is dead. Unless someone can fix both problems, this sentence should be deleted.Thefactis (talk) 05:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

The first white settlers arrived around 1710, attracted by the fertility of the soil and the rich iron ore deposits in the region. During the Revolutionary War, the entire area shared in the activity of the Morristown encampment.
In 1806, the Township of Chatham was incorporated and included the areas that are now the Borough of Chatham, Madison and Florham Park. It was named Chatham in honor of Sir William Pitt, the elder Earl of Chatham, who had spoken in favor of the colonists in Parliament. 
These areas were connected by turnpikes and toll roads originally built by private corporations to transport their goods to market. Local residents later built Shunpike Road to avoid paying tolls.
The most important transportation development was the coming of the Morris and Essex Railroad in 1837. This led to sharp increases in the population, which resulted in incorporating Chatham, Madison and Florham Park as separate boroughs.
In the late 1870s and 1880s Chatham Township became a center of the rose-growing industry. The speciality of the Louis M. Noe Greenhouses was the American Beauty rose with a stem five feet long. At Christmas, he sent them to European royalty. Queen Victoria received 50 of them on her golden anniversary.
After a five-year construction ban during World War II, home-hungry families invaded the township, and large farms gave way to luxurious home sites. Former rose farms became two major shopping centers at the corner known as Hickory Tree, named for a hickory tree planted during President Madison's term.
now the "history" given on that site -- even though it would be copyright by its publication alone -- is questionable operating under the new modern Wikipedia rules of history -- since "Chatham Township was incorporated in 1806" -- but nonetheless, it should be deleted.
:Quit pulling holier-than-though crap here since you're losing the argument. This section was added by Alansohn nearly a year ago. —lensovet–talk – 03:27, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Entire history section is a copyright violation 

message: Do not think it matters who cut and pasted the information. The entire history section has been taken verbatim from another website -- that is a violation of copyright and contrary to a Wikipedia rule which states that it should be deleted. I do not consider attempting to make my edits be the best I can for Wikipedia an attempt to win an "argument". The only loser in your petty battle is Wikipedia and the people who read it to find accurate facts. You are the one for whom I suspect a personal agenda and your statement indicates that further... you have no intention of acting appropriately. Given your behavior -- where you even altered other articles in order to "win an argument" -- I am not surprised.
:Yeah ok, why don't you go back to making personal attacks instead of posing like you want to improve something...the copyvio's fixed. —lensovet–talk – 15:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not surprised by perpetuation of copyright violation 

message: How do we find out the city name?
This might seem silly, but how do we determine a city's name? In the process of a discussion at Talk:Chatham Borough, New Jersey, an anonymous user as well as a respected editor dismissed Census bureau data as incorrect. Alansohn then suggested that references by the municipality to itself [would be relevant]; the anonymous user retorted with The name of the government is not the name of the town.
So...how do we resolve this? Thanks. —lensovet–talk – 03:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  interesting discussion elsewhere 

message: the overview claims that the township was created in february - as a result of a referendum in march. that makes no sense. does anyone have enough command of the history to clarify those dates? AnthonySorace (talk) 15:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
