Lake Hiawatha is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP)[5] located within Parsippany–Troy Hills Township in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[6] The U.S. Postal Service serves the community as ZIP Code 07034. As of the 2020 census, the population was 10,194.[2]
Lake Hiawatha was named after Hiawatha, a 16th-century Native American leader and peacemaker, as evident by plaques on the gazebo on Beverwyck Road, the name of its park, and in the name and emblem of its fire department. However, its name was likely inspired by the popularity of The Song of Hiawatha, an 1855 poem by Longfellow which has little to no correlation with the historical figure of Hiawatha.
