Best Regards - Village Profile
At the crossroads of New Jersey, people and businesses have been coming to Woodbridge Township since 1664. Noted for its progressiveness, Woodbridge still retains some of that Colonial charm mixed with corporate office towers, the intersection of New Jersey’s main highways and travel routes, an active waterfront home to business and industry as well as recreationists, and thriving downtown business and shopping districts in Woodbridge proper, Colonia, Fords, Iselin, Avenel and Port Reading. Woodbridge Township is the oldest original Township in the state. Despite its 26 square miles, the Township– which is comprised of 10 towns–has the feel of small-town America. Woodbridge offers quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods, local schools within a short walk and a responsive government focused on the needs of those who choose to live, work, establish businesses and play in our community. As Mayor of Woodbridge Township, I am continually seeking opportunities and programs whereby Woodbridge businesses, industry and corporate facilities can stay in front of the ever-changing economic and business climate, while better preparing for the months ahead. We are currently offering Woodbridge Township businesses and/or property owners who own/operate a business and are located within a designated commercial business Redevelopment/Rehabilitation Zone, Township-sponsored grants and low-interest loans to improve and restore exterior facades and buildings. We have signed-on to state sponsored programs such as the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency ‘Live Where You Work’ program and the “InvestNJ” business grant program–all as part of our efforts to stimulate the business economy and help Township businesses–and residents–weather today’s economic challenges. Furthermore, our “Greenable Woodbridge” program is in place to jump-start those businesses seeking to take advantage of national environmental initiatives by offering incentives for “sustainable” manufacturing and “green” business programs. In concert with our Municipal Council, the Greater Woodbridge Metro Chamber of Commerce and the Woodbridge Economic Development Corporation (WEDCO), we welcome you to learn more about our great Township and the many commercial opportunities that exist throughout our “Ten Towns.” To learn more about the great business and residential opportunities in Woodbridge Township, log-on to the Township Web page at: www.twp.woodbridge.nj.us.

Patrick Costello WMCC Chairman of the Board Costello-Greiner Funeral Home Carol S. Hila WMCC President Welcome to Woodbridge, New Jersey, the oldest incorporated township in the state of New Jersey. The community hails as the fifth-largest municipality in the state, encompassing more than 100,000 residents – a number that just about doubles with the daily arrival of commuting business professionals and tourists. Comprised of 10 communities – Avenel, Colonia, Fords, Menlo Park, Port Reading, Sewaren, Hopelawn, Iselin, Keasbey and Woodbridge Proper – Woodbridge Township enjoys the great conveniences of accessible transportation options, highly rated healthcare systems, excellent educational opportunities, extensive cultural avenues, first-class shopping centers and delicious dining selections. In addition to these superior facets, Woodbridge is the site of a progressive economic atmosphere, with hundreds of varied businesses, both large and small, lining the streets of the Township. The League of Municipalities has honored Woodbridge as the ‘Green Champion’ for all its work on being a sustainable community. While Woodbridge strives to preserve its deep history and its small-town sense of living, it continuously works to progress with the ever-evolving lifestyle of so many great American municipalities. Woodbridge’s rich heritage began upon the arrival of its first settlers in 1664. Traveling from Massachusetts, the pioneers put down roots on land acquired from the Lenni Lenape Indians. The settlement chose the name of Woodbridge, honoring Newbury, Massachusetts Reverend John Woodbridge. In 1666, the Governor of New Jersey accorded the newly formed village permission to allocate land parcels, appoint a pastor and submit militia officers, followed shortly by the granting of a charter to the Township by King Charles of England in 1669 – making Woodbridge the oldest original township in New Jersey. In the next several decades, the town of Woodbridge grew, with the establishment of the state’s first permanent printing house by James Parker in 1751, resulting in the first published magazine, The New American Magazine, in 1758. With the formation of additional municipalities, including Carteret, Rahway, Edison and Metuchen, in the 1800s, Woodbridge Township endured land loss – though the community remained one of the largest in the state. In the face of this, Woodbridge benefited from its access to the natural resource of fine clay deposits, placing it as one of the world’s largest producers of fire bricks. Over the next 100 years, the Township opened its first public library (1877) – what is now known as the Barron Arts Center – built the first U.S. cloverleaf at the intersection of U.S. Route 1 and State Route 35 (1929); received esteemed awards recognizing its advanced growth and contemporary governance in the mid 1960s – among other acknowledgements – established the extensive indoor shopping mall, Woodbridge Center, in 1971; and, in the same year, opened the modern $2.6 million Woodbridge Metro Park train station. The most recent developments in this burgeoning community include the installation of the new Town Hall in 1996 and the establishment of the Woodbridge Community Center in 2002. Woodbridge has experienced a number of significant benchmarks since its original settlers came to the area in the late 1600s, and continues to progress into a future just as bright as its vibrant past. Known unofficially as the crossroads of New Jersey, Woodbridge stretches over 26 square miles in northern Middlesex County. Ideally located between the major cities of New York and Philadelphia, residents of Woodbridge take pleasure in easily accessible transportation options, whether it is by land, rail or air. Automobile travel is easy through the New Jersey Turnpike and Routes 1, 9 and 287, along with Route 440, which provides drivers a link to bustling New York City through Staten Island. Woodbridge is also intersected by the Garden State Parkway, also known to New Jersey natives as simply “The Parkway.” This 172-mile stretch of parkway spans the entire length of New Jersey, making local and statewide travel trouble-free. Rail commuters can access both Amtrak and New Jersey Transit to meet traveling needs – both found through the extensive Metro Park Station in nearby Iselin, with the local Woodbridge station serviced by New Jersey Transit as well. New Jersey Transit manages the state’s commuter rail grid, which runs 11 lines in three divisions. New Jersey Transit also oversees a substantial bus network consisting of intrastate and interstate commuter routes. Nationwide and international air travel is available through nearby Newark Liberty International Airport – just over a 10-mile drive from Woodbridge. Accessible by the New Jersey Turnpike, U.S. Routes 1 and 9 and Interstate 78, Newark Liberty, which transported over 35.7 million passengers in 2006, is serviced by approximately 50 scheduled airlines.

A gem in Woodbridge since its opening as the area’s premier library in 1877, the Barron Arts Center has become the cultural center of Woodbridge Township and its surrounding communities.

Woodbridge has enjoyed a lucrative economy since its early days focused primarily in agricultural business. With the region’s fine clay deposits, it did not take long for the brick manufacturing business to surpass that of farming. While the detection of fine clay deposits proved to be a successful venture, initially bringing big industry to the Township, many other businesses were drawn into the area, making today’s economy as divergent as ever. Now, Woodbridge is home to top industries of healthcare, education, professional services, retail trade, social service, waste management services and many others.

Several prominent houses of worship, constructed in the 1800s, still stand today as remnants of the Township’s deep religious heritage.

The adjacent cemetery, constructed in the 18th century, still hails as the resting place of some of Woodbridge’s original leading residents. The Trinity Episcopal Church was established in 1860, though the parish was originally founded in 1698. Its cemetery has documented burials dating back to 1714, with the earliest stone reading the year 1750. Several years later, in 1874, the First Congregational Church was established by 30 members of the First Presbyterian Church hoping to return to the original ways of their predecessors from Massachusetts. The church, located along Barron Avenue, is still in use to this day.
