NOTES SCHOOLEY'S MOUNTAIN
Schooley's Mountain is an unincorporated community in Washington Township, in Morris County, New Jersey, named for the Schooley family who owned a considerable amount of land there in the 1790s, is on Schooley's Mountain, a mountain with an elevation of about 1,000 feet (300 m) directly north of Long Valley.
Schooley's or, officially, Schooleys Mountain is a mountain ridge in northern New Jersey that stretches from Lake Hopatcong in the north to Hampton in the south.
It is centrally located within the southern Highlands, positioned almost equidistantly from the Kittatinny Valley in the west and the piedmont plateau in the east. Schooley's Mountain is also one of the largest ridges in a group of geologically similar and parallel mountains, which include Allamuchy Mountain, Pohatcong Mountain, Scotts Mountain, and Jenny Jump Mountain
It rises 600 feet (180 m) above the surrounding valley, located about 45 miles (72 km) from New York City.
It contains many housing developments and Schooley's Mountain Park, a recreational area with an overlook, a waterfall, and numerous hiking paths, as well as Lake George.
In its past, Schooley's Mountain was a resort and an estate.
The Vanderbilts were among the numerous New York City socialites who trekked to the mountain for its restorative waters.
The mountain is named for the Schooley family, Quaker landowners in the area during the 1790s.
The mountain air and the chalybeate springs on the mountain once made it a fashionable summer destination. For similar reasons, a state tuberculosis sanatorium was once located around Mount Kipp.
Many small iron mines were worked on the mountain in the late 19th century; remains of some are still visible today. Granite was also quarried from the mountain.
The main crossing at the mountain is Schooley's Mountain Road, formerly Washington Turnpike.
General George Washington noted in his diary that he considered the route from "Dutch Valley to Schooley's Mountain a hazardous and round about thoroughfare."
