Watchung is a Borough in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough population was 5,801.
Watchung was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on May 23, 1926, from portions of North Plainfield Township (now Green Brook Township) based on the results of a referendum held on April 20, 1926.
Watchung is located at 40°38′34″N 74°26′10″W / 40.642845°N 74.436233°W / 40.642845; -74.436233 (40.642845,-74.436233). According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 6.054 square miles (15.679 km2), of which, 6.026 square miles (15.607 km2) of it is land and 0.028 square miles (0.072 km2) of it (0.46%) is water.
The name 'Watchung' comes from the Lenni Lenape Native Americans, meaning 'high hills'. It is from the first ridge of the Watchung Mountains that George Washington surveyed the British troops in Perth Amboy many miles SSE. The eastern reach of these ridges is to the Oranges in the direction of Newark. The name "Washingtonville" was used in early times, but was rejected as the name for the area by the United States Postal Service, which felt that the state already had too many places named Washington.
The Stony Brook flows through Watchung borough. Making its way from Warren Township to the Watchung Lake, then through the gorge in the first Watchung mountain and over the Wetumpka Falls, on its way to the Green Brook.
It is roughly a 40 minute drive from New York City, and a 30 minute drive from Newark.
Watchung, from the 1900s was a semi-rural small community of about 3,200 people in comparison with the relatively much larger cities of Plainfield and Somerville. The first mayor of the town was Henry Baldwin Macdonald, who served from 1926 to 1928. Even as late as the 1960s, it was common for residents to know one another by name, with few moving in or out of the town. The 1967 Plainfield riots, however, caused an exodus of the large upper-middle class population from the nearby cities to move to the Watchung Hills area to communities such as Watchung, Warren Township and Bridgewater Township. It was at this time that Watchung became a bedroom community and the average income and median house prices soared.
Fishing is allowed at Watchung Lake on a catch-and-release basis only.
In public fear which ensued after the 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells' The War Of The Worlds, National Guard Troops were stationed around the hills in Watchung, as told on the vinyl record recording of news reports of the day.[citation needed]
Sports figures from Watching include Bobby Thomson, Billy Ard and Carl Banks.
Watchung leans toward the Republican Party on the national and state levels. In the 2008 Presidential Election, Republican John McCain received 55% of the vote, outpolling Democrat Barack Obama, who received around 43%.In the 2009 Gubernatorial Election, Republican Chris Christie received 61% of the vote, ahead of Democrat Jon Corzine, who received around 31%.
