Bound Brook

Along the Raritan River is Bound Brook, a borough in Somerset County, New Jersey that is home to just over 10,400 people. The area was first settled in 1681 and a community was established near the Bound Brook stream, which flows into the Raritan River from the Green Brook on the eastern side of the borough. The brook, which was mentioned as a boundary in a Native American deed, provides the source of the borough’s name. The Betsy Ross Flag was first officially raised in 1777 by General Washington in the Camp of the Continental Army at Bound Brook. A wooden bridge over the Raritan River was erected as early as 1761 and named Queen’s Bridge in 1767. Later, it became a covered bridge. During the American Revolutionary War, the bridge was used repeatedly by both sides including during the Battle of Bound Brook in 1777. The Battle of Bound Brook, one of the battles in the New York and New Jersey campaign during the American Revolutionary War, occurred on April 13, 1777, and resulted in a defeat for the Continental Army, who were routed by about 4,000 troops under British command. In 1875, the wooden bridge was replaced by a steel pipe truss bridge. More than 100 years later, that bridge was replaced by a steel girder bridge in 1984, still using the old pillars. The bridge was renovated and repaved in 2007.
