Orange: Essex County Township with a Hat Industry Legacy
Orange, formally the City of Orange Township, sits in Essex County between Newark and West Orange. The population is approximately 34,000. The community was once known as the Hat Capital of the World, with dozens of factories producing felt and straw hats from the mid-nineteenth century through the early twentieth century.
Main Street and Central Avenue form the commercial spines of Orange. The Orange Train Station, now part of the NJ Transit Morris & Essex line, was built in 1867 and has been preserved and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms is in neighboring Morris Plains, but Orange retains a number of Victorian-era houses associated with the hat-making prosperity.
Monte Irvin, the Hall of Fame outfielder for the New York Giants and a veteran of the Negro Leagues, grew up in Orange. The 1890 Valley Arts District on South Valley Road has been developed in recent decades as an arts and cultural zone.
