Officially designated in 1904, Fredon Township was formed from parts of Andover, Green, Hampton and Stillwater Townships and it became the youngest township in Sussex County.

Fredon was described in 1939 as “a highway junction with a small white schoolhouse”. Today, the school with its additions, and the municipal building with a firehouse help make the junction the town center. Fredon remains one of the townships in the county without a village or a “main street”.
