South Brunswick, New Jersey
With increased mobility and a growing population, the suburban style residential development was born after the Second World War, and Kendall Park was begun in 1955. Kendall Park is located right off of Route 27, the old Indian trail and major thoroughfare of earlier centuries. Other residential developments have since been constructed, and like Kendall Park, have mostly followed the dispersed hamlet pattern. Commercial, residential and industrial growth have developed mostly along major thoroughfares and turnpikes, like the developments of earlier days. Click here for more history.

Twentieth century South Brunswick has seen extensive transformation with the impact of American industrial technology. The New Brunswick and Trenton Fast Line began operation in 1900, a trolley line running parallel to the Old Straight Turnpike of 1804 (Route 1), intersecting George's Road just to the north of the Five Corners intersection in Dayton. This trolley provided daily passenger and freight service, stopping at a local crossroads. In 1930 the line was closed, unable to compete with the automobile.
