SOMERSET COUNTY - 2016
Somerset County is at the hub of Central New Jersey. Its 21 municipalities,
which encompass 305 square miles, contain a diversity of landscape,
population and development that reflects the varied lifestyles of its
estimated 332,568 residents.
As one of America’s oldest counties, Somerset is steeped in colonial
and Revolutionary War history. The County was established by charter
on May 22, 1688, with land conveyances dating to 1651. Historic sites,
monuments and buildings are found in virtually every town, preserved
for future generations.
Located in the heart of the nation’s largest metropolitan area, with
convenient access to New York and Philadelphia, Somerset County
contains a balance between urban and suburban neighborhoods and
rural countrysides. Fine residential communities, beautiful parks, excellent
shopping areas, extensive farmlands, numerous historic sites and
outstanding business and industry all make Somerset County a desirable
place to live, work and play.
The County’s 14,382 acres of parkland include golf courses, picnic areas,
hiking and bicycling trails, stables, a swimming pool, an Environmental
Education Center and the County Fairgrounds, which each year hosts
the Somerset County 4-H Fair. The County has preserved 8,239 acres of
farmland through its Agriculture Development Program, and another
3,253 acres of greenways through the County/Municipal Open Space
Partnership Grant Program.
Our educational facilities – Raritan Valley Community College and
Somerset County Vocational & Technical Schools – are among the finest
in the state. The college, a two-year school in Branchburg, includes a
library/theater complex, a convention center and a planetarium; it also
has satellite campuses in Bridgewater and Franklin.
Many boards, commissions and advisory groups help the Freeholders
determine priorities and procedures in areas ranging from farmland
preservation to human services delivery. Members, who serve without
compensation, perform a valuable service to their community.
Environmental protection, conservation of resources, shared services
and proper planning for future growth and development – all are major
goals for County government. The Board of Chosen Freeholders remains
dedicated to serving the residents of Somerset County and to maintaining
the county’s nationwide reputation for excellence.

THE ROLE OF COUNTY
GOVERNMENT
“What Is A Freeholder?”
Somerset County is governed and managed by a Board of Chosen
Freeholders. The board consists of five members; one or two are elected
each year from the County at large to serve three-year terms.
New Jersey is the only state where elected county officials are called
“freeholders.” Most other states elect a county commission or county
council. The term “freeholder” is a carryover from colonial days, when only
property owners - then known as freeholders - were entitled to vote, and
one freeholder represented each municipality. Eventually, the number of
freeholders in each county was reduced by statute and is now determined
by referendum, and cannot exceed nine members.
Freeholders elect from among themselves a director who conducts
their meetings. Each Freeholder in Somerset County chairs a standing
committee: Human Services, Finance and Administrative Services, Public
Works and Public Health & Safety. The Freeholder Director and County
Administrator are ex-officio members of each committee.
The position of Freeholder is considered part-time, although due to the
complexity of County government today, an increasing amount of time is
spent by these elected officials on County business.
The Freeholders employ a full-time County Administrator who manages
the day-to-day operations of County government. The Clerk of the Board
of Freeholders oversees the work of their offices. Department heads are
appointed in accordance with statute and by resolution of the board.
Somerset County currently has 1,101 full-time employees and 153 parttime employees in 52 divisions.
Among the many essential services provided by Somerset County
government are higher education, road and bridge maintenance, curbside
recycling, parks and recreation, employment training, social services,
recording of deeds and wills and much more.

THE ROLE OF COUNTY
GOVERNMENT
“What Is A Freeholder?”
Somerset County is governed and managed by a Board of Chosen
Freeholders. The board consists of five members; one or two are elected
each year from the County at large to serve three-year terms.
New Jersey is the only state where elected county officials are called
“freeholders.” Most other states elect a county commission or county
council. The term “freeholder” is a carryover from colonial days, when only
property owners - then known as freeholders - were entitled to vote, and
one freeholder represented each municipality. Eventually, the number of
freeholders in each county was reduced by statute and is now determined
by referendum, and cannot exceed nine members.
Freeholders elect from among themselves a director who conducts
their meetings. Each Freeholder in Somerset County chairs a standing
committee: Human Services, Finance and Administrative Services, Public
Works and Public Health & Safety. The Freeholder Director and County
Administrator are ex-officio members of each committee.
The position of Freeholder is considered part-time, although due to the
complexity of County government today, an increasing amount of time is
spent by these elected officials on County business.
The Freeholders employ a full-time County Administrator who manages
the day-to-day operations of County government. The Clerk of the Board
of Freeholders oversees the work of their offices. Department heads are
appointed in accordance with statute and by resolution of the board.
Somerset County currently has 1,101 full-time employees and 153 parttime employees in 52 divisions.
Among the many essential services provided by Somerset County
government are higher education, road and bridge maintenance, curbside
recycling, parks and recreation, employment training, social services,
recording of deeds and wills and much more.

SOMERSET COUNTY - 2016
Somerset County is at the hub of Central New Jersey. Its 21 municipalities,
which encompass 305 square miles, contain a diversity of landscape,
population and development that reflects the varied lifestyles of its
estimated 332,568 residents.
As one of America’s oldest counties, Somerset is steeped in colonial
and Revolutionary War history. The County was established by charter
on May 22, 1688, with land conveyances dating to 1651. Historic sites,
monuments and buildings are found in virtually every town, preserved
for future generations.
Located in the heart of the nation’s largest metropolitan area, with
convenient access to New York and Philadelphia, Somerset County
contains a balance between urban and suburban neighborhoods and
rural countrysides. Fine residential communities, beautiful parks, excellent
shopping areas, extensive farmlands, numerous historic sites and
outstanding business and industry all make Somerset County a desirable
place to live, work and play.
The County’s 14,382 acres of parkland include golf courses, picnic areas,
hiking and bicycling trails, stables, a swimming pool, an Environmental
Education Center and the County Fairgrounds, which each year hosts
the Somerset County 4-H Fair. The County has preserved 8,239 acres of
farmland through its Agriculture Development Program, and another
3,253 acres of greenways through the County/Municipal Open Space
Partnership Grant Program.
Our educational facilities – Raritan Valley Community College and
Somerset County Vocational & Technical Schools – are among the finest
in the state. The college, a two-year school in Branchburg, includes a
library/theater complex, a convention center and a planetarium; it also
has satellite campuses in Bridgewater and Franklin.
Many boards, commissions and advisory groups help the Freeholders
determine priorities and procedures in areas ranging from farmland
preservation to human services delivery. Members, who serve without
compensation, perform a valuable service to their community.
Environmental protection, conservation of resources, shared services
and proper planning for future growth and development – all are major
goals for County government. The Board of Chosen Freeholders remains
dedicated to serving the residents of Somerset County and to maintaining
the county’s nationwide reputation for excellence.

Some of the other regular features of the directory include a listing
