The Roselle Park, NJ Community

History

Roselle Park was originally part of Elizabethtown. Then, in 1808, the borough joined Union Township and was known as North Roselle. The borough measured 790 acres, holding 225 homes and about 1,000 people, plus assorted farm animals. Then, in 1901, it became an independent borough.

Roselle Park was an important railway town, with the Jersey Central Railroad, Lehigh Valley Railroad and Short Line Rahway Valley Railroad all contributing to the growth of the area.

The first train stop was built in 1858, beginning the transition of the town from a farming community to a commuter town.

Roselle Park was home to the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America, which built radio and wireless equipment for U.S. navy forces in World War I and was also the home of one of the first licensed broadcast studios in the country.

Many famous radio personalities made the trek to Roselle Park and then into the living rooms of the nation via the airwaves.

Abraham Clark, signatory to the Declaration of Independence and a founding father of the United States, called Roselle Park home.

Fun fact: Roselle Park was the first village to take advantage of Thomas Edison’s incandescent light bulb in 1883, and its First Presbyterian Church was the first church to be powered by electricity.

Professional poker player Phil Ivey, winner of ten World Series of Poker bracelets also calls Roselle Park home, and that’s no bluff.

Over half of the borough’s residents (56%) own their homes, and the median house value is $295,800, slightly higher than the national average of $229,800. Education-wise, only 12% of the population has less than a high school diploma.

Why Choose Storage Post

If you need a place to store your kayak over the winter while you wait to storm kayak again, the living room is not always the best option. Kayaks make wobbly coffee tables, don’t leave you with much foot room and don’t fit very well in an apartment elevator.

An easier solution is to rent a self-storage unit to safeguard your sports equipment in the off-season.
