Bridgewater

Bridgewater is a relatively large, suburban township in Somerset County, New Jersey that is both a regional hub for Central New Jersey and a major bedroom suburb of New York City in the much larger New York Metropolitan area. Located within the Raritan Valley region, the township’s population is just over 44,400 people. Tradition holds that it was at the Middlebrook encampment the first official flag of the United States was unfurled, after the law to adopt a national flag had been passed by Congress on June 14, 1777. By special order of Congress, a Thirteen Star Flag is flown 24 hours a day at the Washington Campground, part of the former Middlebrook encampment, in Bridgewater. Since 1889, the first hoisting of the flag is commemorated annually each July 4 with a changing of the flag, a reading of the Declaration of Independence, and the delivery of a historical address. Until the 1960s, Bridgewater was largely known as a farming community. In the 1970s its population began to grow when residents of larger cities such as Plainfield and Newark started to migrate into Bridgewater as a result of the 1967 Plainfield Riots and 1967 Newark riots. Subsequently, Bridgewater started to receive an influx of residents who worked in the strong pharmaceutical, telecommunications, and financial industries in Bridgewater and the Raritan Valley. More recently, there has also been growing as Bridgewater has become more popular with New York City commuters who use the Bridgewater Station on New Jersey Transit’s Raritan Valley Line or Interstate 78 East to commute to New York City. Bridgewater is now a fairly developed suburban community, with only a few traces of its rural past still evident in the town.
