Bound Brook, Administrative borough in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States.
Bound Brook is a borough in Somerset County that sits along the Raritan River. Its layout mixes residential neighborhoods with commercial areas spread across a small, walkable area.
The settlement started in 1681 near a small stream that served as a boundary marker in early land agreements. The location by the Raritan River later made it a transportation and industrial hub.
The RiverFest and Memorial Day parade show how residents gather to celebrate together throughout the year. These events shape the way people feel connected to their community and to the river that defines it.
The Raritan Valley Line railroad station connects directly to Newark and New York City for commuters. This station makes it easy to reach the area by train if you're traveling from nearby cities.
The Green Brook flood control project finished in 2015 with an advanced system to manage water flow. This project protects the lower areas from flooding and shows how the community adapted to river challenges.
