About Rockaway News
Rockaway News is the local news site for Rockaway Borough and Rockaway Township in Morris County, New Jersey. We publish a new Rockaway story every day: council and board decisions, school news, road and bridge closures, police and fire updates, and the events worth leaving the house for.
Rockaway is two towns with one name, two governments and two school districts, and most regional outlets lump them together or skip them entirely. We cover both, we tell you which town every story is about, and we check every date, address and figure against an official or first-hand source before it goes up.
