The Amity School was built in 1840, and in continuous use
until June 1936. When it was being built, Byram Township
included part of Sparta Township, and all of Stanhope and
Hopatcong Boroughs. Stanhope road did not reach from
Green Road to Tomahawk Lake. Students came from
areas now known as Tomahawk Lake, Seneca Lake,
Byram Cove, Bear Pond and Lackawanna Road.
The building was sold in 1940 to William Roleson, then to
Katherine Spranger Riker, whose son William is the
present owner. Students filled Amity School, due to local
industries; farming, mining, and producing charcoal and railroad ties.
