Fort Lee

Flanked by the Hudson River, Fort Lee, named after General Charles Lee, played a vital role in the Revolutionary War, when General George Washington fortified the area to prevent the British troops from splitting the Colonies in half. Today Fort Lee is probably best known as a gateway into the state from Manhattan, via the George Washington Bridge.

The Borough's population is estimated at 32,000 residents.

Franklin Township-Warren County

The Township of Franklin was settled during the period preceding the Revolutionary War. Its name was in honor of Benjamin Franklin.

On February 15, 1839, the General Assembly of New Jersey ordered that part of the existing Greenwich, Oxford, and Mansfield Townships be separated and called the Township of Franklin in the County of Warren.

Franklin Township is a rural area of 24 square miles consisting of 12,621 acres.

Franklin Township includes part of the Pohatcong Mt. and Scotts Mt. range and has parts of the Musconetcong and Pohatcong rivers running through its borders.

Within the Township of Franklin are three villages: Asbury, Broadway, and New Village.

Asbury, settled prior to the Revolutionary War was originally known as Hall's Mills, named after the Hall family who operated gristmills on the Musconectcong River. The town was known by this name until 1796 when it was changed in honor of Bishop Francis Asbury.

Broadway received its name from the Morris Turnpike which was one of the major roads from Easton, Pennsylvania to Morristown, New Jersey. The road was completed in 1811 and a small village developed in this area. Broadway literally got its name because the road was very wide in this area.

New Village was first settled in the early 1800's. Due to the activity with the Morris Canal and later a trolley system that went from Port Colden to Phillipsburg, New Jersey, several buildings were erected and slowly the village began to grow. In 1898, Thomas A. Edison found a valuable deposit of cement rock underlying the valley and built a large cement mill there. In 1925, this area established electric lights which led to the further settlement of New Village.
