Rail connections between Morristown and Newark, over the tracks of the Morris and Essex Railroad, were established in January 1838. Today, approximately 1,200 persons commute daily to clerical jobs and executive positions in the cities of the metropolitan district, while a number of outsiders come to Morristown for work.
Tallyhos were characteristic of the recent decades when Morristown was peopled by millionaires and horse lovers. On any bright Sunday morning a walker along the tree-lined roads leading into the town might have been startled by the blast of a horn in the distance, then the fast beating of horses' hoofs, a flash of color from gaily liveried footmen-a cloud of dust and the bright equipage would be lost to sight. Famous were the annual parties given by the late Otto Kahn for his staff of servants and caretakers, numbering upwards of one hundred, on his forested estate in the Normandy Park section. The entire house was turned over to his employees, with continuous music and the best of refreshments provided.
