Byram Township, New Jersey

Byram Township is a township in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township’s population was 8,350,[12][13][14] reflecting an increase of 96 (+1.2%) from the 8,254 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 206 (+2.6%) from the 8,048 counted in the 1990 Census.[21] The municipality is known as the “Township of Lakes”, as there are roughly two dozen lakes and ponds within its borders.[1]

Byram Township was created by an act by the New Jersey General Assembly on February 5, 1798, from portions of the now-defunct Newton Township, and was incorporated on February 21, 1798, as one of New Jersey’s initial group of 104 townships.[22] The township was named for the Byram family, who were early settlers in the area.[22][23][24] Patriarch Jephthah Byram and his family, were believed to have emigrated to the area after the American Revolutionary War.[23] Before being named Byram, the community had been called Lockwood, and the Lockwood Tavern continued to hold this original name until its demolition in 2015. In 1829, a section of Green Township was incorporated into the township.[22] Portions of the township have been taken to form Sparta Township (April 14, 1845), Brooklyn borough (March 24, 1898, now called Hopatcong) and Stanhope borough (March 24, 1904).[22]

There are many historical sites located in Byram. The town’s oldest structure, the 1802 Leport House, stands by the Byram General Store on Sparta-Stanhope Road.[25] The Lockwood Cemetery, established around 1818, consists of about 30 gravestones and the remnants of a church’s foundation. The 1853 Roseville Schoolhouse was recently moved from its original location on Lackawanna Drive to Mansfield Drive.[26]
