Vol. 14 Issue 2 - Newton, NJ - Tuesday, February 4, 2020
Some Sussex County residents have reported receiving telephone calls from someone stating they are calling from the Sussex County Sheriff's Office. The caller says that you will be arrested if you do not satisfy a particular debt. They give a case number and a call back number.
Do not fall for this latest scam. The Sussex County Sheriff's Office is not making these calls. If you have received a call threatening arrest by the Sussex County Sheriff's Office and you feel it is a scam, please call the Sussex County Prosecutor's Office at 973-383-1570 ext 4526. Read More...

Frankford Township
(2/4/2020) Print this story
Frankford Township was formed on April 10, 1797, from portions of Newton Township, and was incorporated on February 21, 1798, as one of New Jersey's initial 104 townships by an act of the New Jersey Legislature. Portions of the township were taken to form Lafayette Township and Sparta Township (both established on April 14, 1845), along with Branchville (March 9, 1898), which is completely surrounded by the township. The township was said to have been named after Frankford, a neighborhood of Philadelphia, after a visitor who hailed from that area came to help out at the rural school in the township. (Wikipedia)
