==History==
The township was originally formed on March 29, 1749, from portions of Hanover Township, Morris Township and Roxbury Township. After the Revolutionary War, on February 21, 1798, the township was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature as one of the state's initial group of 104 townships. Portions of the township were taken to create Randolph Township on January 1, 1806. Mendham Borough became an independent municipality when it was formed on May 15, 1906.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 194. Accessed October 29, 2012.〕
The township may be named for Mendham, Suffolk, England,〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed September 5, 2015. Spelled as "Myndham".〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 205. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed September 5, 2015. Note error in the name of the county.〕 or the name may derive from the Native American word ''mendom'' (meaning "raspberry") or for an Earl of Mendham.〔Kelley, Tina. ("An Outpost of New England" ), ''The New York Times'', February 2, 2014. Accessed September 5, 2015. "The origin of the town’s name — preserved on the sign of the Black Horse as 'I’ll Mend ’Em' — has been the subject of animated debate. Did it come from the Indian word 'mendom,' for raspberry or huckleberry? Was it chosen to honor the British Earl of Mendham?"〕〔Beck, Henry Charlton. (''Tales and Towns of Northern New Jersey'' ), pp. 128-149. Rutgers University Press, 1983. ISBN 9780813510194. Accessed September 5, 2015.〕
