About Dayton

Dayton is an unincorporated community in South Brunswick Township, in southwestern Middlesex County. It sits near the Millstone River and the broader Route 130 and New Jersey Turnpike corridor, giving it a practical central New Jersey location. Dayton is not a separate town government, but it has a recognizable local identity within South Brunswick, with homes, warehouses, schools, and commuter routes nearby. The community feels suburban and logistical at once, tied to Princeton, New Brunswick, and the larger warehouse-and-office economy of the region.
