Morris County was the sixth-wealthiest county in the United States by median household income, and ranked tenth by per capita income. It is the ninth-wealthiest county in the United States by personal per-capita income, the highest rank in New Jersey. The county ranked third in the New York Metropolitan area in terms of median income. The area of Morris County was inhabited by the Lenape prior to the coming of the Europeans. They lived along the rivers and hunted game, fished, collected plants and nuts. From 1611 to 1614, three Dutchmen surveyed the area between the 40th and 45th parallels along the Atlantic coast and named the area they surveyed as New Netherland. In 1625 the Dutch built a fort at the southern end of Manhatten Island and named it Fort Amsterdam.
