Neshanic Station (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781531600914)

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.
