Old Boonton and the Reservoir - Teaser - Words and Coffee

On this episode of Words and Coffee, I dive into the history of the town of Old Boonton - specifically the events leading up to its abandonment and flooding.

There's a local legend from this area that the town was flooded to make the Jersey City Reservoir, and all buildings were left behind and still remain there to this day. Spoiler: that's not the case, but there are several incidents from the real life history that may have inspired the legend.
