History of Branchburg

In the early 1600s, the land that Branchburg now stands on belonged to the Raritans, a tribe of the Lenni Lenape Indians.  However, in 1686, the area was purchased by James Duke of York, Brother of King Charles II of England, who granted patents for all of the land in New Jersey, and the right to form a government, to two groups of proprietors.  It was then sold in small parcels to numerous Dutch and English settlers.  The area, known as East Jersey, was split into two provinces with a line that extended "straight from Little Egg Harbor to the most westernly corner of John Dobie's Plantation as it stands on the South Branch of the Raritan River...thence to run along the back of the adjoining plantations..."  The Township of Branchburg was established in 1845, encompassing a total area of 20.2 square miles.  Residents enjoy cycling, recreational sports and a high quality of life away from the busy cities, while still within commuting distance of New York City and Philadelphia.

Historical Sites: "White Oaks" - The Estate of William P. Bowman Originally from South Branch, William P. Bowman became the manager of the New York office the John A. Roebling Sons Company, and married a daughter of the Roebling family. The Roeblings were pioneers in the field of suspension bridge construction and had built the Brooklyn Bridge. The company they founded designed suspension bridges around the world and manufactured the steel cable used in their construction. A member of the family had been a passenger on the Titanic. William Bowman built this estate in 1911. The "Tavern Room" was paneled with wood from the old covered bridge at South Branch. That bridge had been built with wood salvaged from the Reformed Church at Millstone when it was rebuilt in 1826. In the mantle may be seen musket ball holes made in the church during a Revolutionary War Battle. The room was designed to resemble the public room of the White Oak Tavern. Mr. Bowman invited famous guests to carve their names into a trestle table in the room. The names include President Warren G. Harding, U.S. Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, Ferdinand and Ruth Roebling, George Bogart, Louis Paul Dessar the artist, and renowned architect George B. Post of Bernardsville, who designed the Wisconsin State Capitol and many of the mansions in the Somerset Hills including his own estate, Claremont (see The Somerset Hills Landed Gentry Map).
