Rahway, Administrative division in New Jersey, United States.
Rahway sits in southern Union County, functioning as a central point in the Rahway Valley region southeast of New York City.
The area's first European settlement began in 1664 when English colonists acquired land from the Lenape Native Americans who originally inhabited the region.
The Merchants and Drovers Tavern, dating from 1795, stands as a preserved structure representing early American commercial and social life.
The city connects to Manhattan through NJ Transit services, with multiple highways providing access across the New York metropolitan area.
A 1,350-pound sandstone cylinder, discovered in December 2023, indicates early Native American or Colonial presence in the region.
