The Dover and Rockaway Railroad was a short-line railroad in New Jersey, established in the late 19th century. It primarily served the towns of Dover and Rockaway, facilitating the transportation of goods and passengers in the region. The railroad played a crucial role in the local economy by connecting industries and communities. In 1900, the railroad was incorporated and began operations, eventually becoming part of the larger Morris and Essex Railroad system. Over the years, it underwent various changes in ownership and structure, reflecting the evolving transportation needs of the area. The railroad ceased operations in the mid-20th century.
