Description

North Brunswick is a township in Middlesex County, New Jersey. In the late 18th century, the area was known as "North Ward of New Brunswick" or "Northward of New Brunswick." North Brunswick Township was incorporated in 1798. The township was originally about three times larger than it is today. A large portion of the City of New Brunswick (including downtown and the present-day Douglass Campus of Rutgers University) was considered to lie within the borders of North Brunswick Township until the 1850s. Since the middle of the 19th century, several additional municipalities were formed from portions of the North Brunswick Township reducing its size.
The following modern-day municipalities were part of North Brunswick Township during the era of slavery: East Brunswick, South River, and Milltown. For this reason, documents related to slavery in these locations may be found among North Brunswick records.
