Somerset County is at the hub of Central New Jersey. Its 21 municipalities, which encompass 305 square miles, contain a diversity of landscape, population and development that reflects the varied lifestyles of its estimated 301,955 residents.

As one of America's oldest counties, Somerset is steeped in colonial and Revolutionary War history. The County was established by charter on May 22, 1688, with land conveyances dating to 1651. Historic sites, monuments and buildings are found in virtually every town, preserved for future generations.

Located in the heart of the nation's largest metropolitan area, Somerset County contains a balance between urban and suburban neighborhoods and rural countryside. Fine residential communities, beautiful parks, excellent shopping areas, extensive farmlands, numerous historic sites and outstanding business and industry all make Somerset a desirable place to live, work and play.

The County's 8,600 acres of parkland include golf courses, picnic areas, hiking and bicycling trails, stables, a swimming pool, an Environmental Education Center and the County Fairgrounds, which each year hosts the Somerset County 4-H Fair. The County has preserved more than 4,000 acres of farmland through its Agriculture Development Program.

Our educational facilities - Raritan Valley Community College and Somerset County Vocational High School and Technical Institute- are among the finest in the state. The college, a two-year school in Branchburg Township, includes a library/theater complex and a planetarium.

Many boards, commissions and advisory groups help the Freeholders determine priorities and procedures in areas ranging from farmland preservation to human services delivery. Members, who serve without compensation, perform a valuable service to their community.

Environmental protection, conservation of resources and proper planning for future growth and development - all are major goals for County government. The Board of Chosen Freeholders remains dedicated to serving the residents of Somerset County and to maintaining the county's nationwide reputation for excellence.

Real Estate Tips
Selling Your Home >What Would Mama Think

There's no doubt about it--the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the whole house for many prospective buyers. Smart sellers will take a close look at how they can make their kitchen a real asset when it is time to sell.

Your kitchen doesn't need to be state-of-the-art to be attractive. The first step toward enhancing your kitchen's appeal is a thorough cleaning. This includes scrubbing the walls, cabinets (inside and out), floors, and appliances. Keep the counter tops as clear as possible of small appliances and gadgets. Consider low-cost improvements which can make a big difference, such as a coat of paint, fresh wallpaper, or new floor covering. Be sure to keep the kitchen sparkling when the house is being shown. This means no dirty dishes in the sink or moldy cucumbers in the refrigerator. This extra effort will pay great dividends!
