Fanwood
Like many Central Jersey communities, Fanwood was built along the railroad lines of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and the first homes in the borough were clustered around the train station, which at the time was located east of Martine Avenue. Once a summer vacation spot for well-to-do city dwellers, Fanwood borough has evolved into an attractive suburban community and a “great place to raise kids.”
