Highland Park History

“In 1870, our small hamlet changed names from East New Brunswick to Highland Park, a name derived from the housing development on the south side streets. This was also the year that Highland Park was annexed to the newly formed Raritan Township. 1905 marked the year when the Borough of Highland Park broke away from Raritan Township.”
