The township was named "Millburn" in 1857, as a tribute to a local mill built on a stream, with "burn" being the Scottish name for "stream." Shortly after 1870, Stewart Hartshorn, inventor of the roller window shade, decided to make his home here and to enter the real estate business to establish an "ideal community." He purchased and resold much of the "short hills" area and adopted the Indians' name for his community. Today, Short Hills remains an area of Millburn Township.

Located in the horse country of the Somerset Hills, Bernardsville combines the best of suburban and rural living. The perfect place to live and to raise a family. Minutes from Historic Morristown, the United States Equestrian Team and the United States Golf Association Headquarters are nearby. New Jersey Transit trains take commuters through Summit and Hoboken into New York City. The mountains of northern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York State are a pleasant drive. The Jersey Shore is only about an hour away.

BERNARDSVILLE Settled by the Scotch, Irish and English, Bernardsville was originally a section of Bernards Township known as Vealtown. In 1840, it was renamed Bernardsville, after Sir Francis Bernard, colonial governor of New Jersey from 1758 to 1760, for whom Bernards Township is also named. Nestled in the northern most part of Somerset County, a dozen miles south of Morristown, this rustic community sits in some of the last vestiges of the Great Eastern Forest. The present Borough Hall, built around 1800, was known as Bunn's Mill and was operated as a grist mill and sawmill, cider mill and distillery in the mid-1800's.

Somerset www.bernardsvillenj.com Somerset County School Report Cards Bernards High (9-12) Bernardsville Middle (5-8) Bedwell (K-4) Somerset Hills School Website Demographics Bernardsville 07924 Bernardsville remained a small town of rustic cottages until after the Civil War, when many wealthy and prominent New Yorkers moved into the area, first as summer visitors, then as permanent residents, building mansions on the mountain. Many of these fine homes are still in existence today. The railroad line was built through Bernardsville in 1872 by one resident who felt he was 'too important to ride in a horse drawn carriage to Summit to catch the train'. Bernardsville and Bernards Township split in 1924 and Bernardsville was then an independent community full of historical heritage. Combined suburban and rural living at its finest, Bernardsville boasts some of the finest estates, new and old, in the area and offers excellent community living and activities to its residence.

WATCHUNG Nestled between two ridges of the rocky Watchung Mountains, the Borough of Watchung is bordered by both Morris and Union Counties. The name Watchung is derived from an Indian word meaning "on the hill" or "high place", and is believed to have been given to the area by the Lenni-Lenape Indians. This picturesque hilltop town is rich in legend, including the one of Indian princess Wetumka, who saved early settlers from massacre because she was in love with one of them. When Dutch settlers arrived in the early 1700's, they came to the Watchung region to take advantage of the rich soil. The region was well known as a thriving agricultural area.

Westfield Westfield is an attractive suburban community located about 25 miles southwest of New York City. It offers a small town environment with many diverse historical, cultural, recreational, educational, and social activities. Westfield has a rich Colonial history, and is noted for its beautiful downtown area, excellent school system and its convienient commute to New York City and the shore. It offers all the classic features of small town life: friendly tree-lined streets with single family colonial and Victorian homes, a New England style village green, and an old-fashioned atmosphere. In 1664 English Long Islanders purchased the Elizabethtown tract from the Leni Lenape indians, and in 1693 officially became Elizabeth Township. By 1720 Westfield had become a distinct settlement. 41 years later Elizabeth was chartered as a Borough, in which Westfield was a voting ward. During the American Revolution the patriots of the West fields of Elizabethtown evacuated livestock into the Watchung mountains as the British Army passed nearby in December of 1776.

The Watchung Reservation and its woodland nature trails are a major recreational resource for the borough. Echo Lake Park offers fishing and boating and free concerts on summer evenings.

MOUNTAINSIDE There is a lingering sense of the past in Mountainside Borough, which was settled by Dutch and English farmers in the 17th century, and it is reflected in the vintage residences. Although the business district of Mountainside straddles Route 22, down a series of wooded back roads in this Union County borough lies a rustic preserve of homes terraced on the Watchung mountains. Almost half of the Watchung Reservation's 1,945 acres and most of the 147-acre Echo Lake Park, with its three large lakes, lie within the borough's borders - making nearly a third of its four square miles park land.

Sidewalks and street lights are rare, and people turn out in force for the annual Little League parade. And although many residents liken the borough to an isolated country hamlet, they revel in the fact that from their perch they can see Manhattan just 24 miles away. Mountainside is more than just a pretty place. It has the Children's specialized Hospital and some 300 light industrial and commercial businesses, most of them along Route 22. As a result, the borough's tax rate is among the lowest in Union County. Mountainside continues to attract new residents, and the most recent arrivals have been young professional couples with children. Families are often drawn to the community because of its attention to education. Pre-Kindergarten through grade 2 attend Beechwood School, and grades 3 through 8 attand Deerfield School, the then continue their studies at Berkeley Heights school in New Providence. Most of the Mountainside's social and civic organizations are associated with the school or the borough's three churches, the oldest of which, Mountainside Union Chapel, was built in 1801. There are also such annual holiday events at a Fourth of July picnic and a Memorial Day parade to promote community spirit. COMPLETE INFO UPDATED DAILY Our Listings. Contact Us.

Known at the turn of the century as the Venice of New Jersey, the Union County Township of Cranford grew up around the meandering Rahway River. Cranford is home to Union County College and is about a half hour commute to the city by car, bus or from the Cranford train station.

CRANFORD Known at the turn of the century as the Venice of New Jersey, the Union County Township of Cranford grew up around the meandering Rahway River. In 1720, John Crane of nearby Elizabeth Towne (now Elizabeth) built a grist mill on the north side of a ford in the river and a sawmill on the south side. That mill at Crane's Ford provided grain for Washington's troops during the Revolution. Cranford remained a small village until 1838, when the Elizabethtown & Somerville Railroad made it accessible to New York City. The railroad and river led to Cranford's development, first as a recreation area and later as a commuter suburb to New York. In 1871 Cranford was incorporated as a township and, within 15 years, about 76 residents were commuting daily to the city. The most important of the many historic buildings in Cranford is the 1740 Williams Droescher Mill, on Lincoln Avenue. Now owned by a messenger sevice and used as an office building, it is the oldest continuoisly operated commercial building in New Jersey. Its cast-iron water turbine is still in place.

The borough owes its name to the railroad. The first president of the railroad named the train station Fanwood in honor of Fanny Wood, the daughter of a railroad official and an author who wrote articles highlighting the beauty of the Central Jersey region. The original railroad station, a stone Victorian structure, stands today as testimony to the borough's beginnings. It serves as Fanwood's community center where many meetings are held. Fanwood is still an important commuter town, and many residents use the train to get to their jobs in Newark and New York City. The train ride to NYC is approximately 45 minutes.

FANWOOD BOROUGH The Lenni-Lenape Indians were the first residents of the area. Martine Avenue was the old Indian Trail. Fanwood was once part of Westfield, as was Scotch Plains. Like many Central Jersey communities, Fanwood was built along the railroad lines of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and the first homes in the borough were clustered around the train station, which as the time was located east of Martine Avenue. Once a summer vacation spot for well-to-do city dwellers, Fanwood borough has evolved into an attractive suburban community and a "great place to raise kids". The borough was originally settled by vacationers who were attracted to the area by its "wide open space and clean air". The 1.3 square-mile borough was carved out of the Township of Scotch Plains in 1895. To make the commute to the city easier, the early developers placed the railroad station in the center of the borough, ensuring that it was no farther than a half mile from any part of town.

Within easy commuting distance of New York City (driving time is about three-quarters of an hour), Warren is spanned on the north by Interstate 78. Commuting by railroad takes about an hour and fifteen minutes. Newark Airport is fifteen miles away by car and bus service to New York City is available nearby.

WARREN TOWNSHIP The Township of Warren, originally inhabited by the Lenape Indians, has served as the crossroads for travelers between Pennsylvania and East Jersey since colonial days. Probably the oldest landmark still remaining, dating back to 1692, is the tavern known as King George Inn. Located along the King's Highway, the Inn became a well known stop for travelers. Today, major highways have transformed Warren from a small farming town into a rural residential community of single family homes on lots of an acre or more. For those that want wide open spaces, woods, and country life coupled with the advantages of a more compact community, Warren offers the best of both worlds.
