Middlesex

In 1905, the Lincoln section of Middlesex Borough organized a volunteer fire company and that set the organization of four other fire companies in the Borough. There were already a few schools set up before Middlesex became a borough. The Harris Lane School was a one room schoolhouse and it was the oldest in Middlesex County. Middlesex was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 9, 1913, from portions of the Piscataway Township. At this time a mayor was elected and a borough council was formed. Two constables and five marshals were appointed as law enforcement.
