In 1918 during World War I when anti-German sentiment was at a peak, the name was once again changed to the original Lenni Lenape name of Long Valley. German Valley, so named in 1804, had originally been called Budd’s Valley, then Dutch Valley.

In the mid-1700s a series of settlements –Upper Valley,German Valley, Middle Valley and Lower Valley –formed along the South Branch of the Raritan, what the original Lenni Lenape named “Long Valley”. All matters relating to employment are based upon ability to perform the job, as well as dependability and reliability once hired.Historic Washington Township Driving into German Valley Square from Middle Valley Coming from Chester, German Valley Square is just around the corner past the Mill
