Westfield

Westfield, (Union County) New Jersey, is an attractive suburban community located approximately 25 miles southwest of New York City. Its 29,460 residents (2000 census) enjoy living in a small town environment that offers many diverse cultural, recreational, educational, and social activities.

Interesting history.

The area was settled in the late 17th century as part of the Elizabethtown Tract. Westfield was originally formed as a township on January 27, 1794, from portions of Elizabeth Township, while the area was still part of Essex County, and was incorporated as a one of New Jersey's first 104 townships by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. It became part of the newly-formed Union County on March 19, 1857. The Town of Westfield was incorporated on March 4, 1903, replacing Westfield Township. Barely two weeks later, the Borough of Garwood was created from portions of Westfield and Cranford Township, on March 19, 1903.
