About Victory Gardens
Victory Gardens is Morris County's smallest municipality — a compact borough created from a 300-unit federal housing project built during World War II for defense workers, and incorporated in 1951. Its streets were named for U.S. presidents (Washington Avenue, Jefferson Avenue, Garfield Avenue), a lasting imprint of its wartime origins (per morriscountyhistory.org; read September 24, 2026). It is an affordable, close-knit community minutes from Dover.
