History

In the early 1970s a citizens group Concerned Citizens of East Brunswick sued the New Jersey Turnpike Authority over a proposed major widening project. The township was incorporated in 1860 and grew steadily as a rural farming community. The citizens group presented technical data from their own experts and prevailed in what was one of the earliest technical confrontations regarding urban highway design related to environmental factors in US history. Around the late 1600s, settlers began arriving in the northern part of East Brunswick, and by the mid-1800s, a small village had formed in the southeastern part, known as the Old Bridge section of the town. East Brunswick was also the site of the Assata Shakur#New Jersey Turnpike shootout Exit 9 shootout in 1973.
