The mode of transportation graduated from horseback, to ox-cart, to stagecoach. Then in 1836, the Morris and Essex Railroad developed a singletrack between the Village and Orange and operated a horse-drawn cart.A year later the line was extended and two cars were pulled by a wood-burningsteam locomotive. The advent of the railroad established South Orangeas a suburb of Newark and a summer resort. Just after the railroad wascontinued through to Hoboken in 1868, the Village began its rapid transformationfrom a rude settlement of farms and mills to a polished residential railroadsuburb of New York and Newark.

Swamps were drained, roads were constructed and gas lines were laid inthe 1890s. Sewers and running water were later added. Street lamps inthe town's center burned sperm oil until 1860 when gas service becameavailable. Electric power was brought into the Village about 1888, althoughmost of the streets are still lit by gas lamps. The first telephone exchangewas opened in Orange on December 6, 1879. In 1899, a Village central officewas established.

The transition of South Orange from vast farm lands to a prestigiousresidential community is due in large part to the vision of one man, NewYork attorney John Gorham Vose. Taken with the rich mountain scenery,he purchased a home on Scotland Road in 1858. In 1862, he began to buylarge plots of land to begin his conversion. As building got underway,Villagers took great interest in the development of each magnificent home.In just a few years, 175 acres between Scotland Road and Center Streetwere complete. Vose christened the area Montrose. Other successful businessmen,Turrell, Kingman, Connett, Mead, Speir, and Mayhew, also bought farms,carved out streets, and helped change the face of the community.

The Village Hall, built in 1894, housed the fire department until 1930when it was moved to Sloan and First Streets. The police department thenmoved from its 1872 building just west of the railroad into the newlyvacated space in Village Hall. In March, 1972, a separate police stationand Municipal Court building on South Orange Avenue was completed.

The first U.S. Post Office was opened in 1841 in Freeman's Store at 71South Orange Avenue but the Postmaster reported 'receipts so dreadfullysmall' that business was suspended. In 1843, another office was openedto serve the thirty families nearby. In all, six different sites wereused until 1937 when our present first class Post Office was opened onVose Avenue in a new building of its own. Free mail delivery started in1899.

Built about 1680, the Stone House is the oldest in the Village and isstill standing on South Orange Avenue near Grove Road. The colonial houseat 167 North Ridgewood Road was built by Henry Squier in 1774 and acquiredby William Redmond when he bought the Squier farm in 1850. Later the housewas leased to a dairyman named Flood who pastured his cows in what isnow Meadowland Park. Flood's Hill in the park, used for winter coasting,was named for this family. William Redmond built the brownstone mansionfor his home which is used today by the Orange Lawn Tennis Club. Anotherlandmark, said to have been built around 1830 and standing until after1881 when it was destroyed by fire, was The Mountain House, a fashionablewater-cure supervised by two physicians, where spring water piped downthe mountain to it, was thought beneficial. A large wooden structure withtwo wings, set in spacious grounds on Ridgewood Road, at the foot of thepresent Glenside Road, the hotel accommodated 150 guests. Mr. Lord ofLord & Taylor owned it in 1850 and leased it to G. Baird. The EclipseStage Line operated in 1830 between the hotel and Newark. Today the solereminders of the resort are Mountain Station and Mountain House Road,both established to accommodate hordes of visitors who once flocked here.

South Orange was part of Newark until 1806, when what is now the Orangesand Maplewood were set off as 'Orange Township.' The name Orangecame into use in the second half of the 18th century, and was officiallyadopted by a meeting of the inhabitants in 1780. The name South Orangefirst appeared in print in a newspaper ad in 1793 in 'Wood's Gazette.'It replaced such old names as Chestnut Hill and the Mountain Plantation.

Village government has changed dramatically from theocracy to democracysince the 1600's. In 1776, there were only a cluster of houses, a gristmill, a black-smith shop, a store or two and a tavern but South Orangeinhabitants were united in defense of home and country. In 1872, civicindifference reached a peak when only 235 votes were cast in a presidentialelection. Population has steadily increased: 7,200 in 1920, 13,000 in1928 and over 16,300 in 1995. The creation of the South Orange Townshipby an act of the New Jersey Legislature in 1861, led to the granting ofthe Village Charter in 1869, but not until 1872 was it given authorizationto levy taxes and borrow money. In 1904, complete separation of Villageand Township was effected by action of the State Legislature, after SouthOrange had agreed to remain in the school district. A copy of the 1869Charter and its amendments, variances and supplements was printed in 1906.In November, 1977, South Orange voters passed a new Charter for SouthOrange and changed its name to The Township of South Orange Village.

February 28, 2020 Update

  • As of February 28, there have been no confirmed cases of coronavirus in New Jersey.
    • The NJDOH Novel Coronavirus Call Center is open and is taking calls from the general public only at 1-800-222-1222.
      • It is open 24/7 and can accommodate callers in multiple languages.
  • On February 25, CDC confirmed COVID-19 in a person who reportedly did not have relevant travel history or exposure to another known patient with COVID-19 (unknown exposure).
    • At this time, this virus is NOT currently spreading in the community in the United States.

According to CDC, 'Current understanding about how the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. COVID-19 is a new disease and there is more to learn about how it spreads, the severity of illness it causes, and to what extent it may spread in the United States.'

The CDC recommends that residents use common precautions to help prevent the spread of disease. While each respiratory illness possesses its own unique characteristics, based on a multitude of research and knowledge regarding the vast amount of respiratory illnesses currently circulating, what we've always learned still holds true. The actions you take and the plans you make today make a difference. Here are some important steps for protecting yourself from getting and spreading diseases.

  1. Staying home when you are sick.
  2. Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
    • Stay at least 3 feet away from sick people when possible
    • Tell your employer if you get sick. If possible, those who are at high risk for flu complications should avoid attending meetings or events in person if they are sick.
  1. Covering your coughs and sneezes.
    • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
    • Throw away the used tissue, and then wash your hands.
  1. Washing your hands.
    • Wash your hands thoroughly and often with soap and water.
    • If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Why is this important?

Washing your hands lowers the amount of flu virus that can spread when you shake someone's hands or touch surfaces and objects such as desks and doorknobs. It is especially important to wash your hands before and after touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.

    • At this time, this virus is NOT currently spreading in the community in the United States.

According to CDC, 'Current understanding about how the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. COVID-19 is a new disease and there is more to learn about how it spreads, the severity of illness it causes, and to what extent it may spread in the United States.'

The CDC recommends that residents use common precautions to help prevent the spread of disease. While each respiratory illness possesses its own unique characteristics, based on a multitude of research and knowledge regarding the vast amount of respiratory illnesses currently circulating, what we've always learned still holds true. The actions you take and the plans you make today make a difference. Here are some important steps for protecting yourself from getting and spreading diseases.

  1. Staying home when you are sick.
  2. Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
    • Stay at least 3 feet away from sick people when possible
    • Tell your employer if you get sick. If possible, those who are at high risk for flu complications should avoid attending meetings or events in person if they are sick.
  1. Covering your coughs and sneezes.
    • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
    • Throw away the used tissue, and then wash your hands.
  1. Washing your hands.
    • Wash your hands thoroughly and often with soap and water.
    • If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
