P R O F I L E
Sparta Township boasts a rich history dating back to colonial times. In 1777, Judge Robert Ogden and family lived in a house across Main Street from the present Town Hall. Ogden’s wife Phoebe named the home “Sparta” because she believed that she and her family were enduring great hardships due to the war and were living the “Spartan” life — tough, proud, and disciplined. In 1797 when the first post office was established, Sparta was officially given that name. Many famous people lived or visited Sparta, including George Washington, General Lafayette, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison, who mined in Sparta for nearly a decade. For almost 100 years, Sparta continued to be an iron ore town, until the end of the Civil War which brought an end to the forge industry in Sparta. In the 1850’s the first railroads in the county brought weekend visitors to the local lake. In 1889,Thomas Edison bought the Ogden mine and spent two million dollars on his magnetic separation of iron. Homes were then being built with electricity and running water, which were rare at the time. In 1898, Edison’s ore was no longer in demand and the following year he closed down the mine. In 1926, to encourage summer vacationers, a dam was constructed by the Crane Company at the end of a stream at the Ogden Meadow. By 1928, water went over the top of the dam, eventually forming Lake Mohawk. The lake, three miles long with ten miles of shore line, soon had many summer homes surrounding it. Today, Sparta has grown into a strong community with residents living in this peaceful area all year round. As a homeowner at Chapel Hill at Sparta, you will enjoy the prestige, beauty, and rich tradition that Sparta Township has to offer.
