If you are thinking of moving to Scotch Plains?

New York Times Feature Article Living in Scotch Plains

History

The area known as Scotch Plains was first settled by Europeans, including many Scottish Quakers as early as 1684.[18] It later served as a stop on the stage coach line between New York and Philadelphia. The Ash Swamp in Scotch Plains was the scene of a key action in the Battle of Short Hills, on June 26, 1777, which included skirmishes as Washington's forces moved along Rahway Road in Scotch Plains toward the Watchung Mountains. An ancient house in Scotch Plains recalls those skirmishes and, with the acreage adjoining the house, presents a vista of that decade, the 1770s. This is the home of Aunt Betty Frazee, whose retort to Lord Cornwallis led the British to find their bread from friendlier bakers in the same battle. The farmstead of Betty and Gershom Frazee is being restored by local organizations.

What is now Scotch Plains was originally incorporated as Fanwood Township on March 6, 1878, by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature from portions of Plainfield Township and Westfield Township. Portions of the township were taken to form Fanwood Borough on October 2, 1895. Fanwood Township was renamed as Scotch Plains on March 29, 1917, based on the results of a referendum held that same day.

Scotch Plains was home to the Shady Rest Country Club, the nation's first African-American country club, and its pro, John Shippen, the first American golf professional, who led the 1892 U.S. Open in the final round before finishing fifth. The Shady Rest clubhouse hosted Cab Calloway and other greats as a local center for African-American culture in the 1920s and 1930s. It is preserved today as the Scotch Hills Municipal course.

A much more complete history of the township can be found in the October 28, 1999, "Our Towns: Scotch Plains-Fanwood (2nd Annual)" issue of the The Times of Scotch Plains-Fanwood, produced by the town's newspaper of record at the time as well as on the township's website.

Selling your Home: Pulling out all the stops to MARK-et this incredible home.

This home has so much to offer in addition to its Location, Location, Location; incredible gourmet kitchen with 6-burner Viking and a Sub Zero, compliment the Poggenpohl cabinetry and granite counter tops. As if that wouldn't be enough to make buyers leap at the opportunity, this same kitchen opens to a great room with a view of a deck that, in turn, looks out a a huge backyard--sitting on over 1/3 of an acre--and the Golf Course.

Not to be MISSED.

Built in 1880, the twenty-nine room mansion contains the original furnishings and family items used by the Edisons. The estate grounds include gardens, a greenhouse, barn, and the poured concrete garage containing the family's automobiles. Thomas and Mina Edison are buried on the grounds of the estate.
