For both new residents and old-timers alike, Warren A to Z takes you on aninformative tour of Warren Township including the land, places, people,issues, and events that have shaped 'the greenest place in New Jersey.'Almost from its beginning 275 years ago, Warren was a scattering of smallvillages that included only a post office or church, general store, ablacksmith shop, tavern, and a few houses. Like many other communities infast-growing Somerset County, Warren Township has changed dramaticallyduring the last half century. Gone are the shimmering fields of hay andcorn, the sheep and cows grazing in the sun, and the weather-beaten barns.Author and historian Alan A. Siegel arranges his entries alphabetically inan easy-to-read format as he explains how the forested mountains andpastoral valley have given way to progress. In 1982, there were still 150working farms in Warren, but now almost all are gone-victims of the verycharm of the surroundings that have attracted so many newcomers.Warren A to Z will transport you on a fabulous historical journey thathighlights the churches and schools, noteworthy buildings, famous people,and political movements of this beautiful area nestled in the WatchungMountains.
