Plainfield: Queen City of the Watchung Hills
Plainfield sits in Union County at the foot of the Watchung Mountains, with a population of approximately 51,000. The city grew as a commuter suburb in the late nineteenth century when the Central Railroad of New Jersey established a line through the community. Victorian-era houses in the Van Wyck Brooks Historic District on the city's west side reflect the period of wealthy New York businessmen building country homes along the rail line.
The 1967 Plainfield rebellion, which followed the Newark rebellion by a few days, marked a turning point in the city's post-war history. The National Guard was deployed to the community, and the events reshaped local politics and demographics over the following decade. Plainfield today has a significant African American and Hispanic population with active civic institutions.
The Drake House Museum on Front Street was used by George Washington as a military headquarters during the Middlebrook encampment. Plainfield High School, one of the oldest in the state, draws students from a broad area.
