Why Sparta?

With a population of 17,000, spread over 39 square miles, Sparta Township is located only 50 miles from New York City. According to a demographics study by Caci, Inc., Sparta's median household income ranks at the top 3 percentile in the nation. Those are the bare facts, easily stated. The beauty of the lakes and hills is obvious, more elusive is the spirit of Sparta. Residents, both old-times and recent arrivals, are fiercely proud of their hometown. Why? Perhaps it's because Sparta offers such a wide variety of things - there is something here for everyone! We do have pride in our school system, in our parks and playing fields, in our cultural involvement and in our people.

Community activities abound, providing family fun and entertainment. Sparta Day features booths, games, craft displays, food and music. On warm summer evenings, you will enjoy free open-air concert on the library lawn. The Fourth of July celebration is an old-fashioned treat from the morning parade to the evening fireworks display.

For those residents who have a creative spirit, they will find many outlets. The Cornerstone Playhouse was formed by a group of amateur actors who enjoy performing a variety of shows for both adults and children. Sussex County Community College has its own resident theater group, The Pegasus Players, which not only performs, but also offers classes in the performing arts. Activities of the Warren-Sussex Arts Foundation is also responsible for all the live entertainment at the Farm and Horse Show. Relying on donations from local businesses, it's the Sparta Cultural Affairs committee, which arranges the open-air concerts.

To serve diverse religious denominations, Sparta has ten churches. For the residents who enjoy helping others, there are 31 service clubs in Sparta. They range from scouting to senior citizen groups.
