History
[edit]
The last of the Morris County lake communities to be built,[3]: 87 Lake Parsippany was created in 1933 when developers Warren and Arthur Smadback purchased 760 acres (310 ha) in Parsippany through their holding company, the Daily Mirror Corporation, a division of the New York Daily Mirror newspaper.[3]: 87–88
The developers created an artificial lake and offered 20-by-100-foot (6.1 by 30.5 m) lots for $98.50 with a six-month subscription.[4] At least two lots were required to build a house.[3]: 88
