About Basking Ridge

Basking Ridge is a historic community within Bernards Township in Somerset County. It was settled in the 1720s by British Presbyterians and still has a preserved village center, historic district, and annual Charter Day celebration. The area is also known for its corporate history, including the former AT&T headquarters campus later associated with Verizon. Basking Ridge feels affluent and established, with old churches, commuter access, schools, and a leafy Somerset Hills setting that keeps it distinct from denser New Jersey suburbs.
