The town of Hopatcong has a rich history given its relationship with New York City. It borders Lake Hopatcong, a partially man made lake that is now a source of much recreation and desirable real estate. The town, just 40 miles west of New York City, began as a summer get away for the wealthy in NYC who primarily sought access to the lake. An amusement park sprung up called "Bertrand's Island" which was accessible via the lake or by car through Mount Arlington. Much of this however, changed due to the construction of Interstate 80, a highway that stretches from Teaneck, New Jersey all the way across the country to San Francisco, California. This new road ignited a rapid growth in New York's suburbia, enabling people a much easier commute and thus enabling Hopatcong to become a permanent residential community.

Hopatcong is located at 405619N, 743952W (40.938650, -74.664462)GR1.
