As we enter the 16th week of the COVID-19 pandemic, the County of
Sussex continues to stay open and serve the public as an essential
employer. While our normal routines and operations may have changed, we
have not stopped working in order to serve our residents during these
unprecedented times. The County would like to share a video that shows

In 1800, Isaac V. Coursen named the Stillwater Township area "Coursen's
Corners" after establishing a post office in his store, the Coursen
House, but changed the name to Fredon Village before his death in 1855.
Stillwater Township's Bicentennial Committee obtained information from
the Postmaster General which "states that 'Fredon' is derived from the
German word 'fredonia,' meaning place of freedom." Fredon Township was
incorporated on February 24, 1904, from portions of Andover Township,
Green Township, Hampton Township and Stillwater Township. (Wikipedia)
