Piscataway settled
in 1666 near the banks of the Raritan River it is believed to have
derived its name from the Lenni Lenape language meaning "great
deer river." Piscataway is the seventh oldest town in NJ and
one of the 50 oldest towns in the nation. An application is pending
with the State of NJ to create an historic district in the River Road
area where there are 16 historic properties, including four already
on the National Register of Historic Places. While maintaining a rural
flavor, Piscataway has a good mix of residential, commercial real
estate, and many Fortune 500 companies and is within 35 miles of New
York City.
