Roselle Park, NJ

Roselle Park is a Union County borough with roots reaching back to an early settlement by Samuel Williams in 1700. Its later growth was tied to rail lines, including the Rahway Valley Railroad, and to factories that made the borough part of northern New Jersey's industrial suburb pattern. Today Roselle Park is compact and residential, with train access, local businesses, schools, and older neighborhoods close together. It feels like a practical, built-out New Jersey borough rather than a sprawling suburb.
