GARWOOD, NJ
Garwood, New Jersey is a suburban community located approximately 25 miles southwest of New York City and has a balanced mix of residential areas, retail stores and manufacturing businesses.
The borough was for a long time a home to industry, but today is shifting towards an office and retail-based economy similar to its neighboring towns. Some of the old industrial factories are still prominent on Garwood's main streets. | | During the 1890's, John R. Maxwell, one-time president of the Central Railway of New Jersey, acquired large tracts of land in what is now the borough and formed the Garwood Land and Improvement Company. The name "Garwood," which was applied to the settlement some years before the incorporation of the Borough, was in honor of Samuel Garwood, the first president of the Land Company.
The Borough of Garwood was incorporated on February 25, 1903. Prior to this, the town was part of Westfield and Cranford. At the time of her independence there were 75 houses and a population of approximately 400. Today there are approximately 1300 homes and over 10 times the original population.
The Borough goverment consists of the Mayor, and Borough Council having a Council President anf five counsilmen. With its pleasant streets and small-town feel, the borough continues to provide idyllic living conditions for its small, tight-knit population.
