Morris County: The Happiest Place on Earth (or, at Least NJ)?

Monmouth University poll says we have the most smiles in our 481 square miles.

The amount of happiness you're perceived to have may depend on where you live, at least as far as a recent Monmouth University poll looking at how residents of the Garden State perceive it.

First released in April, the university's "Garden State's Quality of Life" poll looked at a number of factors in people polled in determining what makes happiness thrive in New Jersey, and where it most likely is to exist. For the full April 2011 study, visit the polling site.

Recently, the survey breakdown by region revealed Morris County as the "happiest" county in the state, with our friends way down in Cumberland County ranking at the bottom of the list.
