Fredon is a township in Sussex County, New Jersey. It was incorporated in 1904 from portions of four surrounding townships (Andover, Green, Hampton, and Stillwater). Fredon did not exist as a separate municipality during the slavery era. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, the western section of present-day Fredon was part of Hardwick township, and the eastern section was part of Newton township. Thus, records related to slavery in the area of present-day Fredon may list Hardwick or Newton as the locality.
One of the oldest historical sites in this area is the Yellow Frame Presbyterian Church located at the border of Fredon, Sussex County, and Frelinghuysen, Warren County. - Locality
