Roselle: Union County Borough and the First Electric Street
Roselle Borough covers 2.6 square miles in Union County and has a population of approximately 22,000. The borough holds a notable distinction: in 1883 Roselle became the first community in the world to have a completely electric street lighting system, installed by Thomas Edison. A plaque on West First Avenue commemorates the installation.
The borough grew in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries along the Central Railroad of New Jersey and retained a residential character through successive waves of development. The First Presbyterian Church of Roselle, which was among the first buildings to receive electric lighting in Edison's 1883 system, still stands on Chestnut Street.
Route 27 passes through Roselle on its path between Elizabeth and New Brunswick. The Roselle Park Historic District, technically in neighboring Roselle Park Borough, includes several Victorian-era commercial buildings.
