Located at the southern edge of Morris County, Chatham Borough and Chatham Township are quiet and carefully developed residential communities that comprise 12 square miles. (Boro 2.4 sq. miles, Township 9.2 sq. miles.) Because these neighboring communities share so much in common they are often referred to as the Chathams. Together their population is around 18,000. The two towns not only share their name but their post office and zip code, the library, a wonderful recreation department, and since 1988, the school district of the Chathams.
Character
 Named one of the top 10 places to live by Money Magazine in 2005, and the #1 place to live in the state by New Jersey Monthly Magazine, Chatham can best be described as a bedroom community, conveniently connected to major highways, Mid-Town Direct train, and bus service to New York City. The Boro maintains a charming town center, ripe with quaint shops, historic buildings, and restaurants. The Township provides more spacious country living as well as a suburban setting with larger homes and properties, newer single family homes and condominium developments.
