Living in Cranford, NJ
In the 1680s, the General Assembly met in Elizabethtown and divided New Jersey into four counties including Bergen, Essex, Middlesex and Monmouth, but later Union was created from a portion of Essex. Because the development of a network of Indian trails that later became colonial roads led to the creation of major highways, the growth of Union County was much quicker than most surrounding areas.
Cranford's development continues today. People living in Cranford apartments have plenty of opportunities for employment in a diverse work environment in the region. Some of the top employers of Union County include Merck & Co., New England Motor Freight, USI Services Group, Overlook Hospital, Maher Terminals and Children’s Specialized Hospital.
