West Orange, New Jersey, got its name in 1863 when it was incorporated as a township, partly to distinguish it from the nearby Orange township. The name "Orange" itself is believed to have originated from the title of William III of England, who was also known as William of Orange. The prefix "West" was added to indicate its geographical position relative to the original Orange township. This naming reflects both its location and historical connections to early colonial influences.
