Description
Woodbridge is a township in Middlesex County, New Jersey. It was formed in 1669 and is one of the oldest municipalities in the state. During the colonial era, Woodbridge was larger than it is today. A portion of present-day Perth Amboy was originally part of Woodbridge, but it broke off by the end of the 18th century. Woodbridge also originally included parts of present-day Rahway, Edison, Metuchen, and Carteret. These municipalities began to break off from Woodbridge in the mid-19th century, but documents related to slavery in these communities are often found among Woodbridge township records.
