[quote="anon-011q"]Cranbury Nestled amongst the gently rolling farmland of New Jersey’s Middlesex County, Cranbury’s roots date back to the late 17th century; the township is one of the state’s oldest settlements. It was during the 18th century that Cranbury started to expand, and several inns built during this time still stand, including the Cranbury Inn built in 1780. This feature established the township as an important rest stop between New York City and Philadelphia. Today, its rich history is beautifully preserved, almost all of the village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, while the Brainerd Lake and Village Park are the setting for summer concerts.
