First settled in 1684 by Quakers, Plainfield New Jersey, was officially incorporated in 1869. The city’s expansion relied heavily on the economic opportunities and ease of commute to New York City, and it grew as a bedroom suburb. Throughout the nineteenth century, the city became known for its prosperity and has a well-maintained architectural legacy for grand homes dating back to the Gilded Age. Further expansion of railroads allowed commuters to enjoy the business opportunities in the city while enjoying the relative calm of suburban life. By 1899 the town had grown to a population of more than fifteen thousand, nearly tripling in size from the 1870s.
