Highland Park, NJ

Highland Park, New Jersey, is a borough in Middlesex County, in the New York City metropolitan area. It is located on the northern banks of the Raritan River, in the Raritan Valley region, and borders Edison, New Brunswick, and Piscataway.

The earliest settlers of the land that would become Highland Park were the Lenape Native Americans, who hunted in the hills along the Raritan River. In the late 17th century, Henry Greenland became one of the area's first European settlers, owning nearly 400 acres of land on the Mill Brook section of the Assunpink Trail, where he operated an inn for travellers.

In 1809, Reverend John Henry Livingston of the Livingston family, newly chosen head of Queen's College (now Rutgers University), purchased a 150-acre plot of land, which would later be known as the Livingston Manor. A Greek Revival house, built around 1843, stands on this property, and remains Highland Park's most prominent historic house.

In the early 19th century, the Delaware & Raritan Canal and a railroad were constructed to serve the commercial centre of New Brunswick across the river. Despite this, Highland Park's land continued to be used for agriculture. Residential development began around 30 years later, with several stately houses constructed on Adelaide Avenue, and more modest houses on Cedar, First, Second Avenues, and Magnolia, Benner, and Johnson Streets.

In the 1870s, the small hamlet became better known as "Highland Park", derived from the suburban housing development, although the area adjacent to the railroad tracks continued to be called "East New Brunswick". In 1905, the Borough of Highland Park was formed, breaking away from what was then known as Raritan Township (present-day Edison).

Highland Park has a population of 15,072 as of the 2020 United States census, an increase of 7.8% from the 2010 census count of 13,982. The borough covers a total area of 1.83 square miles, including 1.82 square miles of land and 0.01 square miles of water.

The area was originally referred to as South River Landing from 1683 to 1720, before becoming Willettstown in 1720, named after settler Samuel Willett.
