Metuchen, Borough administration center in Middlesex County, New Jersey, US.
Metuchen spans 2.85 square miles of suburban landscape, entirely surrounded by Edison Township in the Raritan Valley region of New Jersey.
The name Metuchen first appeared between 1688 and 1689, derived from Chief Matouchin of the Raritan people who originally inhabited this land.
The Main Street district maintains a collection of independent stores, restaurants, and public art installations that represent local community values.
The borough designation as a transit village promotes sustainable community planning with direct train connections to New York City.
Metuchen's geographical position as a complete enclave within Edison Township creates a distinctive municipal arrangement known locally as a doughnut town.
