Known as "The Rose City", Madison, NJ was named after President James Madison. During the reorganization of Morris County in 1806, the county was divided into three sections, including neighboring towns and government divisions such as Bottle Hill. In 1834, the borough officially gained its name, Madison. As a tribute to the past there is an annual fair, Bottle Hill Day to commemorate the separation of the townships. In modern-day appeal, Madison, NJ has often graced various publication lists for "Best Places to Live" in New Jersey.
