The Road Up Raritan Historic District is located along River Road in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey.〔 〕 It is north of Raritan Landing, once an important inland port on the Raritan River during the 18th and 19th centuries. The name is taken from an earlier colonial era name for what was once a Lenape path, Assunpink Trail that became a main road parallel to the river.〔(Dalley map 1762 From Perth Amboy to Trenton )〕 Piscataway Township itself was formed on December 18, 1666〔"The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968", John P. Snyder, Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 172.〕 as one of the first seven townships in East Jersey, and is one of the oldest municipalities in the state.〔(Welcome to Piscataway, NJ ), accessed February 8, 2007.〕 The district includes nine of fourteen historic homes along an approximately 1.2 miles stretch of River Road. The Metlar-Bodine House and the Cornelius Low House are also in the immediate vicinity. There are seven contributing properties in the district plus two properties that were previously listed. ==See also== *East Jersey Olde Towne Village *Fieldville *List of the oldest buildings in New Jersey 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Road Up Raritan Historic District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
