When starting a fence project it is vital to know that the proposed fence will be on your property. This is important to you, the town officials and your neighbors.
1. If you already have an up-to-date property survey, it may have enough detail to locate your property corners, where you may find or can place stakes. This will help you discern your property lines.
2. If you do not have current valid property survey, you will have to hire a Land Surveying Company to create one and that will usually require your property deed.

Orange had its origins in Connecticut's New Haven Colony. In 1666, a group of 30 of New Haven's families traveled by water to found "a town on the Passayak" River. They arrived on territory now encompassing Newark, the Oranges, and several other municipalities. The area was situated in the northeast portion of a land grant conveyed by King Charles II of England to his brother James, Duke of York. In 1664, James conveyed the land to two proprietors, Lord John Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. Since Carteret had been Royal Governor of the Isle of Jersey, the territory became known as "New Jersey." Orange was initially a part of the city of Newark, but it was originally known as "Newark Mountains". On June 7, 1780, the townspeople of Newark Mountains officially voted to adopt the name Orange.
