History
For many years, the Ramapough Mountain Indians were the inhabitants of this region. It was also an important Quaker settlement.
The name Mount Ivy is said to have been given to the locality because of its elevation and ivy swamp.
Mount Ivy is the location where General Anthony Wayne's troops rested and concealed themselves before the assault of Stony Point fortress.
