Accessed September 4, 2014.〕 |website = |footnotes = }} Bound Brook is a borough in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States, located along the Raritan River. At the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 10,402,〔〔〔 reflecting an increase of 247 (+2.4%) from the 10,155 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 668 (+7.0%) from the 9,487 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed February 10, 2013.〕 Bound Brook was originally incorporated as a town by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 24, 1869, within portions of Bridgewater Township. On February 11, 1891, it was reincorporated as a borough, based on the results of a referendum held on the previous day.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 222. Accessed October 25, 2012.〕〔(The Borough of Bound Brook Municipal Resource ), Borough of Bound Brook. Accessed April 29, 2008.〕 ==History== The area was first settled in 1681 and a community was established near the Bound Brook stream of the same name, which flows into the Raritan River via the Green Brook on the eastern side of the borough.〔(A Note About Places ), From "Voices of Raritan Landing", accessed April 19, 2007.〕 The brook, which was mentioned as a boundary in a Native American deed, provides the source of the borough's name.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 27, 2015.〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 53. United States Government Printing Office, 1905. Accessed August 27, 2015.〕 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. In 1875, the wooden bridge was replaced by a steel pipe truss bridge.〔Snell, James P. (''History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey'' ), p. 666. Everts & Peck, 1881. Accessed August 27, 2013. "A bridge across the river at this place was ordered built by an act of Legislature passed in 1728. It was not erected however until 1731 for a supplementary act was passed that year in reference to it. It was afterwards called the Queen's Bridge. The present bridge was built in 1875 at a cost of about $75,000."〕 More than 100 years later, that bridge was itself replaced by a steel girder bridge in 1984, still using the old pillars.〔(Somerset County - Historic Places ), NJ Town Guide. Accessed August 27, 2013.〕 The bridge was renovated and paved in 2007. 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.〔Monsport, Welson.
