The county, first visited by Europeans in 1700, today combines natural beauty and pleasant suburban living with proximity to metropolitan surroundings. Its rolling landscape is dotted with lakes and rivers which form most of its boundaries with the adjacent counties. Much of its beauty has been protected and preserved by the Board of County Commissioners through its Park Commission, formed by referendum in 1955 to set aside and develop land for leisure time and recreational use. Over 20,000 acres make up the system, one of New Jersey’s finest. Included are outdoor education centers, a marina, golf courses, a riding stable, an indoor ice skating arena, a cultural center, arboretums, and numerous types of hiking, cycling, wildflower and nature trails.
