=== Dutch settlement === Dutch farmers from [[New Amsterdam]] (now part of [[New York City]]) entered the area in 1710.<ref name=":0" /> As part of [[New Netherland]], the town was originally called "Uyle-Kill" (the Dutch spelling of "Owl-Kill"), a name given to the creek and valley, which ran through the area. By the 1740s, the settlement had grown in size and construction of the first road was begun. The early road, now known as [[U.S. Route 202 in New Jersey|U.S. Route 202]], connected various farms with Montville's first gristmill, sawmill and tanneries. In 1756, the [[Dutch Reformed Church]] was founded in Old Boonton and moved to Montville in the early 1800s after land was purchased in Montville for a parsonage.<ref>[http://web.me.com/stevesefcik/MontvilleReformed/Our_Church_History.html History], Montville Reformed Church.
