Towaco is a community within Montville Township in eastern Morris County. It developed around the railroad and the older Route 202 corridor, where a compact village area continues to include local businesses, civic destinations, and the Towaco NJ Transit station. The Montclair-Boonton Line provides service toward Newark, Hoboken, and other communities across northern New Jersey. Residential neighborhoods spread into the wooded hills surrounding the village, with a mix of older homes, later subdivisions, and larger properties. Local roads connect Towaco with Montville, Lincoln Park, Kinnelon, Boonton, and the Route 46 and Interstate 287 corridors. The community is not separately incorporated and shares schools, parks, public facilities, and local government with the rest of Montville Township. Its rail station, traditional center, and hilly residential setting give Towaco a distinct identity within the municipality. Nearby rivers, parks, and open land reinforce the transition between the denser eastern suburbs and the more wooded communities of Morris County.
