Somerset County, located in the great state of New Jersey, was established on May 14, 1688, as one of the oldest counties in the United States. It was named after the English county of Somerset and played a significant role in the early history of the nation. The area was primarily settled by Dutch and English immigrants who engaged in agriculture, trade, and small-scale industry.

During the Revolutionary War, Somerset County was the site of several key events. George Washington and the Continental Army camped in the area, and the Middlebrook Encampment in modern-day Bridgewater Township served as a strategic base for the troops. The county also witnessed the Battle of Bound Brook in 1777, where American forces engaged British troops.

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Somerset County experienced significant economic and population growth due to its location near major urban centers like New York City and Philadelphia. Railroads and roadways, such as the Delaware and Raritan Canal, were crucial for its development. The county evolved as a hub for manufacturing, agricultural production, and later as a popular suburban residential area.

Today, Somerset County is a vibrant and diverse region with a mix of urban, suburban, and rural communities. The county is home to over 300,000 residents and continues to attract businesses and residents alike.

Fun fact: Somerset County is considered the birthplace of the modern-day hot air balloon in the United States. The first-ever aerial voyage in America took place in 1793 when a French aeronaut, Jean-Pierre Blanchard, launched a hot air balloon from Philadelphia and landed in present-day Franklin Township, Somerset County.
