Jacksonville is an unincorporated community located within four municipalities originally in Pequannock Township, in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[2] Located in the area of Jacksonville Road (County Route 504) and Sunset Road, the area consists of residential houses and a church. In the 19th century, the area known as Jacksonville was wholly located within Pequannock Township. A school existed a few hundred feet south of the Church. Upon the creation of the township of Montville in 1867, Jacksonville was split between these two municipalities.[citation needed]
