<div id="ygrps-yiv-1790991473">For reasons unknown to me, the Borough of Sussex, in Sussex County, New <br/>
Jersey, is octagonally shaped.  As with many other NJ boroughs, towns, etc., it is <br/>
completely surrounded by another municpality.  Perhaps the powers what be <br/>
wanted to make a circular borough, but found it easier to survey the eight <br/>
straight segments of the octagon, rather than risk duplicating the boundary mess in <br/>
northern Delaware?<br/>
