History of Old Bridge

The earliest inhabitants of the area were the Lenape Native Americans. The Lenape lived peacefully along the river they called the Naraticong, or South River. European settlers arrived in the late 17th century and established farms and industry along the banks of the South River. The village of Madison Park was established in 1663. During the American Revolutionary War, British loyalists built fortifications along the South River to defend against rebel attacks from General George Washington's Continental Army.
