Accessed September 4, 2014.〕 |website = }} Edison is a township in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, Edison had a total population of 99,967,〔〔〔 retaining its position as the fifth-most populous municipality in New Jersey.〔(The Counties and Most Populous Cities and Townships in 2010 in New Jersey: 2000 and 2010 ), United States Census Bureau. Accessed September 3, 2011.〕 The 2010 population reflected an increase of 2,280 (+2.3%) from the 97,687 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 9,007 (+10.2%) from the 88,680 counted in 1990.〔(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 July 14, 2012.〕 What is now Edison Township was originally incorporated as Raritan Township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 17, 1870, from portions of both Piscataway Township and Woodbridge Township. Portions of the township were taken to form Metuchen on March 20, 1900, and Highland Park on March 15, 1905. The name was officially changed to Edison Township on November 10, 1954, in honor of inventor Thomas Edison, who had his main laboratory in the Menlo Park section of the township.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606–1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography, Trenton, New Jersey, 1969. p. 170 re Edison Township, p. 173 re Raritan Township.〕 Edison was ranked the 28th most livable small city in the United States by ''CNN Money Magazine'', and second in New Jersey in 2006 in ''Money Magazine's'' "Best Places To Live".〔(100 Best Places to Live 2006: #28 – Edison ), ''Money Magazine'' / Cable News Network, October 22, 2009, backed up by the Internet Archive as of August 2, 2010. Accessed March 16, 2015.〕 In 2008, two years later, ''Money Magazine'' ranked the township 35th out of the top 100 places to live in the United States.〔("Best Places to Live 2008: New Jersey" ), ''Money Magazine'' / Cable News Network, December 5, 2009, backed up by the Internet Archive as of December 3, 2012. Accessed March 16, 2015.〕 Edison Township was not on the 2007 list because that year's list included only municipalities with a population of 50,000 or less. In the 2006 survey of America's Safest Cities, the township was ranked 23rd, out of 371 cities included nationwide, in the 13th annual Morgan Quitno survey. In 2009, Edison was ranked as one of "America's 10 Best Places to Grow Up" by U.S. News and World Report. The rankings focused on low crime, strong schools, green spaces, and abundance of recreational activities. ==History== 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「Edison, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
