Boontoni linn tekkis 1866. aastal kui liideti osa Hanoverist osaga Pequannockiga. Boonton sai täiesti eraldiseisvaks linnaks aastal 1867.Snyder, John P.

Accessed March 20, 2020. "Boonton became a separate municipality, and was incorporated as a Town under a charter granted by the State Legislature in March, 1867. The area within the limits of the new Town was formerly part of the old Townships of Pequannock and Hanover."Historical Timeline of Morris County Boundaries, Morris County Library. Accessed December 24, 2016. "1866, March 16. Boonton Town is established from Pequannock and Hanover. From PL 1866, p. 506."

Linna areng hoogustus 1829. aasta paiku kui kaevati Morrise kanal ning asutati metallitööstus. Linna ajaloolised alad on nüüdseks suures osas 1904. aastal rajatud veehoidla all. Aastal 1908 sai Boontonist tänu veehoidlale esimene Ameerika Ühendriikide linn, mille veevärki klooriti."A Public Health Giant Step: Chlorination of U.S. Drinking Water", Water Quality and Health Council.
