The Mr. Local History project has been researching and working with the public to create the most complete list of lost businesses in the Somerset Hills in northern Somerset County, New Jersey. The Somerset Hills includes Bedminster, Bernards Twp, Bernardsville, Far Hills, and Peapack/Gladstone in northern Somerset County, New Jersey. Let’s see what areas lost the most and what type of businesses they were.
An interesting look at the data tells us two things: where the businesses were and what type of businesses they were. Bernardsville and Basking Ridge are the two centers where businesses started (and ended). As per the category, retail and restaurants fared the worst.
Here’s our list by town area so far. Which do you miss most? Post in the comments below if we’re missing any good ones!
The collection continues to grow now, reaching nearly 300 digital icons, allowing you to put these icons on over 60 items in any color and size. It’s called “Print on Demand” and comes straight to your door after ordering.
