Edison Township, with access to nearly every major highway in Central New Jersey, is one of the state’s most populous municipalities. Although the 2000 census reports a population of 98,000, officials now estimate it at about 100,000, and growing.
Crowded industrial parks, including Raritan Center, the state’s largest, help provide Edison with one of the largest municipal tax bases in New Jersey. Among the notable companies with Edison campuses are Ford Motor Co., The New York Times and United Parcel Service, Wakefern Foods, Etienne Aigner, Revlon Research Center and William Grant & Sons.
Once part of Piscataway and Woodbridge Townships, the area was incorporated as Raritan Township in 1870 as a loosely connected grouping of neighborhoods. When Metuchen seceded from the center of Raritan Township in 1900, the municipality was left looking like a 35-square mile donut. Metuchen now divides North Edison and South Edison.
Raritan Township changed its name to Edison Township in 1954, after Thomas Alva Edison, whose laboratory was in the Menlo Park section of town, and is close to the property of Edison's lab, wherein he perfected the electric light, invented the phonograph, and is credited with over 1000 patents.
The township was once home to two large military bases: The Raritan Arsenal and Camp Kilmer, which were phased out in the 1960s. Today Raritan Center and Middlesex County College stand on the Raritan Arsenal land. Camp Kilmer became Rutgers University’s Livingston College and the Sutton Industrial Campus.
