Belle Mead

Belle Mead is an unincorporated community and census-designated place that is in the Montgomery Township within Somerset County, New Jersey. Up until about 1875 Belle Mead, then named Plainville, was considered to be part of the community of Harlingen. It was a quiet farming region when about that time a New York City contractor named Van Aken bought up all the local farms and set out to develop a city. He had the farms laid out into lots, some streets put through and named after the style of New York. He donated land for the railroad station that had a dining room underneath, which ended up being torn down in February 1940. When Van Aken went broke, the property was sold to a U.S. Senator, John R. McPherson, who changed the name from Vanaken to Belle Mead in honor of his daughter, Edna Belle Mead McPherson. There is an abandoned train station in Belle Mead. The abandoned train station was built by Reading Railroad in the 1930s and was removed from service in 1984. Since then, restoration projects have been announced, however, not one has progressed any further than cleaning up tree debris and graffiti. Woods Tavern in Belle Mead was a popular stop for travelers for more than 100 years and played an important social and political role until it burned down in 1932.
