Welcome, Sparta, to the Patch Family!

Notice anything different? We hope so—and we hope you’re as excited about it as we are. As of today, we are expanding our coverage area to include Sparta!

Since its launch in July of 2010, Hopatcong Patch has strived to provide the most complete view of the borough as possible. The site gives residents a platform to provide their own happenings and ideas through its Local Voices, events and announcements platforms, while Patch covers the most important important news in schools, government, police and fire, and more.

But until now, the town has stood alone as the only reflection of Sussex County in the Patch family.

Now, the northern-most county in the state will have its second town covered. More importantly, it will offer its residents the ability to communicate with each other through the site’s platforms. 

Have an event coming up? You can post it right to our calendar. 

Did someone win an award? Is someone engaged? There’s a place for that in our announcements.

Are you part of a group? A coach of a youth or high school sports team? Local Voices offers a place to show the community what’s happening through photos and your own words. 

And while you're using the site for the things that matter most to you, the important issues and stories in another town in Sussex County will now be covered on Patch.

A big welcome to Sparta Township! We hope you enjoy becoming a part of the Patch family.
