Sparta, New Jersey

Sparta is a township in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2020 United States Census, the population was 19,600,[8] reflecting a decrease of 122 (−0.6%) from the 2010 United States Census, when the township’s population was 19,722,[18][9][10] which in turn reflected an increase of 1,642 (+9.1%) from the 18,080 counted in the 2000 Census.[19]

Sparta was organized as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 14, 1845, from portions of Byram Township, Frankford Township, Hardyston Township and (the now-defunct) Newton Township.[20] The township was named after the existing community of Sparta, which had been settled and named years before,[21] the name likely coming from Sparta, Greece.[22] Ogdensburg borough was incorporated on February 26, 1914, from portions of Sparta Township.[20]

Pre-colonial Sparta was inhabited by the Lenape Native Americans. In the 1750s, Dutch explorers discovered red ores in the area and attempted to mine copper. No permanent settlers arrived until 1778, when Robert Ogden and his wife built their home and constructed an iron forge on lands he had acquired and “called their house and farm Sparta.”[23] The first public building in Sparta was the Presbyterian Church which was incorporated in 1786. Schools were established in Ogdensburg by 1806 and in Sparta by 1812.[24]
