North Brunswick; a large town spread over 12 square miles; has a rich history extending back to the early 1600s; when its only occupants were members of the Lenni-Lenape tribe. Some of the earliest establishments included the Black Horse Tavern building; which in 1670 was a stagecoach stop; and the Lion Tavern. By 1750; a gristmill operated near where a dam is currently located on Farrington Lake and was later joined by a snuff mill and tannery. From 1775 through 1900; the area was almost entirely agricultural. The first church; the Georges Road Baptist Church; was erected in 1847; and the first school committee was elected in 1829. By the dawn of the 20th century; North Brunswick began to come into its own; projecting the image of the thriving community it is today.
