Kenilworth, NJ

Kenilworth is a small Union County borough in northern New Jersey, tucked among Cranford, Union, Roselle Park, and Springfield. Its modern layout traces back to the New Orange Industrial Association, which bought land in the late 1890s and promoted the area for both building lots and industry. That origin still fits Kenilworth's mix of residential streets, local businesses, and industrial corridors. The borough also has a modest cultural thread, including Shakespeare in the Park programs that have been brought to the Kenilworth Library.
