The Sussex County Division of Health continues to vaccinate our county
residents at the Sussex County Fairgrounds with a drive-through
vaccination clinic. The Division thanks Mike Richards and the
Fairgrounds Board of Directors for the use of the Richards Building and
continued use of the grounds to facilitate the administration of COVID
vaccine. During the first week of May, the clinic will relocate to a
tent at the fairgrounds to allow the fair to continue to expand their
seasonal events.

Hardyston Township was set off from portions of Newton Township by
Royal charter on February 25, 1762. It was named after Josiah Hardy,
who was royal governor of New Jersey from 1761-1763. The original
British spelling of Hardiston was Americanized to Hardyston after the
American Revolutionary War. (Wikipedia)
