WARREN COUNTY
About Us
Welcome to the Youth Services Commission website for Warren County!
Warren County came into existence in 1825 and occupies an area of 364.55 square miles. Within the county is some of the most rugged and scenic terrain found in the state. Fertile valleys have enabled the county to become an important agricultural district in the Garden State.
Among Warren County’s greatest natural assets are clean air, clean water and open spaces for resident families. Our county ranks 19th in population among New Jersey’s 21 counties. In 2016, Warren County had a child population of 21,902. A variety of organizations are here to serve our youth.
More information about Warren County is available on the Internet at the official County website, found at www.warrencountynj.gov.
