PAUL A. NUZZO February 11, 1976 Fellow Citizens of Edison Township and Guests: Welcome to the Edison Township Bicentennial Ball. I know that your presence here tonight is evident of your support of our celebration. It is with great pleasure that we commemorate Edison Township’s One Hundred and Sixth Anniversary. Throughout its years, Edison has grown into a well balanced community where industries and homes enjoy the advantages of job opportunities, top-rate educational facilities, stable government as well as sound financial planning. It was One Hundred and Twenty-nine years ago today that our great in ventor, Thomas Alva Edison was born. By establishing his famous laboratory in Menlo Park, he began a tradition of success and prosperity in this community that we continue to enjoy. Now, as we join in our Country’s Bicentennial festivities, we must strive to maintain Edison not only as a pace-setter in New Jersey, but also as a “shining light” in our Nation. Sincerely,

Because of his loyalist convictions, he was arrested in June of 1776 and at that time the states independence was declared. But while William lost his position as governor, he retained his reputation as a connoisseur of fine foods.

P. O. BOX 23 FORDS, N. J. 08863 HistoryV"W * _ of Edison _ _ _ 9 The early history of the local area is directly related to the histories of Woodbridge and Piscataway Townships from which Raritan Township was formed in 1870. Early settlers who replaced the original inhabitants—Lenni- Lenape Indians—came from New England and several European countries. Included among these were the Stelle and Bonham families after whom sections of the Township are named. Despite difficulties inherent in founding early settle ments, these pioneers cleared land for farming, built St. James and Stelton Baptist Churches, established local government, constructed a meeting house in Piscataway town and founded a local school there and one in Oak Tree. During the Revolutionary War local residents remained loyal to the Patriots’ Cause, engaging in numerous skirmishes, especially in the Piscatawaytown- Bonhamtown area where several British regiments were stationed. Among the many who served with the American militia were Major Reuben Potter and Captain Abraham Tappan. Following the end of hostilities, residents turned their attention to improving and extending facilities and services started be fore the War. Funding through subscriptions and special taxes was initiated. Of major importance during the 19th Century was the movement to form a new township from portions of Woodbridge and Piscataway Townships. Led by a group of Metuchenites, local leaders were successful when Raritan Town ship was incorporated, with the first election held at the Academy on April 16, 1870. Family names of the earliest settlers filled many of the civil servant lists —Tappan, Martin, Stelle, Campbell. Internal political differences concerning representation, improvements and taxation continued after the formation of Raritan Township. Leaders in Me- tuchen opted successfully for the creation of a separate borough in 1900, fol lowed by Highland Park in 1905. During the following years, residents again renewed their efforts towards ex tending and refining facilities and services. A major change was made in the form of local government from Township Committee to Commission which lasted until 1958. However, throughout much of the eighty-four year period of Raritan Township, there existed a need to identify with the township and not with sections of the township— a situation which was common to other town ships made up of villages in a rural setting. The post-World War II period brought with it a rapid and massive increase in population with its corresponding demands for expansion and reorganization of all the resources of the community. The change from Raritan to Edison in 1954 honored Thomas A. Edison, who spent perhaps the most fruitful period of his life in the Menlo Park section during the latter part of the 19th Century. Numerous individuals and civic groups made concerted efforts to remove the last of the sectionalist feelings and build an identification with Edison. The result of their efforts is apparent. Today, Edison is one of the major communities in the state of New Jersey with a comprehensive master plan to insure a well balanced municipality. <$x§*S><$*SxS><$>3><$>3>3xS><$^^
