History

. The settlement was originally called 'Turkeytown', due to the presence of wild turkeys in the area. Ironically, the British Army never crossed the Watchung Mountains into this region. On March 23, 1869, Summit, New Jersey withdrew from the New Providence Township and reincorporated as a township without any other town. This acquisition was known as the Elizabethtown Tract.
