Sayreville, Administrative borough in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States

The settlement started as Roundabout, then became Wood's Landing before receiving its current name in the 1860s to honor industrialist James R. Sayre Jr. This renaming reflected the community's growth and commercial development during that period.
The Starland Ballroom draws regional and touring bands, serving as a gathering place where people come to see live music. This venue shapes how locals and visitors spend their entertainment time in central New Jersey.
