New Providence, Borough in Union County, New Jersey, US
New Providence spans across 3.71 square miles of land along the Passaic River, with Second Watchung Mountain forming its eastern boundary point.
The settlement began in 1664 when James, Duke of York, acquired the territory from Lenape Native Americans, leading to the first Puritan colony in 1720.
The New Providence School District maintains four educational institutions serving over 2,300 students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade levels.
Two train stations, New Providence and Murray Hill, connect residents to New York City through NJ Transit's Gladstone Branch of Morris & Essex Lines.
The borough houses the headquarters of major publishing companies Martindale-Hubbell and R. R. Bowker within its municipal boundaries.
