Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The villages of Neshanic and Neshanic Station make up the southern portion of Somerset County, New Jersey. Upper and Lower Neshanic, as they were earlier known, joined over a century ago when the Elm Street Bridge was built, linking the two villages. Neshanic was a colonial settlement that grew around the commerce of Amwell Road and the following of the Reformed Dutch Church of Neshanic, which was established in 1752. Neshanic Station contained only a handful of residences until railroad lines led to the commercial and residential expansion of the village in the late 1800s. Today, these two villages exist mainly as residential communities but are linked with the past through the lifelong ties to the villages by their residents. While the commerce that once occupied this area is gone, its sense of community remains.

Download or read book Somerset County written by William A. Schleicher and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the Watchung Mountains to the north and the Sourland Mountains to the west lies the fertile valley of the Raritan River. Stout Dutch, Huguenot, German, Scottish, and English settlers began to cultivate family farms here as early as the 1680s. For almost a hundred years, the tramp of soldiers' feet and sounds of cannons had been unknown, but that was about to change. With its location astride two major routes between New York and Philadelphia, it is little wonder that Somerset County became the "Crossroads of the Revolution." A friendly populace and the protection of the mountains made this a safe haven for General Washington's army. His soldiers camped for three winters, including the harshest winter of the Revolution, in Somerset and in the adjacent areas of central New Jersey. Washington spent more time here than any other place during the War for Independence. It was in this historically significant county that the first military academy in the nation was built, the 13-star flag was first flown over American troops after its adoption by Congress, and the "Regulations for the Infantry of the United States" was written by General von Steuben.
