When the central New Jersey Railroad came through the area  in 1874 and a station was established in town, residential development was stimulated.  The New Jersey Land Improvement Company was a subsidiary of Central New Jersey Railroad, and they built several houses and sold or rented them.  In 1877, Fanwood became large enough  to beak away from Westfield, and it included the area known as Scotch Plains. Fanwood has never had any industry or commercial areas, and even now the town center boasts an intimate variety of stores. The borough was incorporated in 1895 with 350 residents, surrounded on three sides by Scotch Plains.  Its picture perfect Victorian Gothic railroad station has been preserved and is used as a community center.  The spirit and vitality of a small "village" is reflected by the number of civic activities, social and school organizations, spirit of volunteerism and well-maintained streets and neighborhoods.     Community Organizations
