GREAT MEADOWS, 57.6 miles (580 alt., 250 pop.), is the center of
the onion-celery-lettuce farms in this section of the State. It is situated on
the tip of a fertile tract of lowland, once pure bog, reclaimed after a campaign begun single-handed in 1850 by Dr. J. Marshall Paul of Belvidere.
Great Meadows was known as Denville before its principal interest became
agricultural; then its main industrial plant was the Kishpaugh iron mine.
A GREEK CATHOLIC CHURCH (L) offers a surprising architectural note: a silvered Byzantine cupola atop a severe wood frame.
Pequest River parallels the road between here and the Delaware. The
swift, twisting Pequest is a haven for trout- and eel-fishermen; planked
eel-runs rise out of the stream at high points like so many little riparian
outhouses.
