About This Historic Map
Drawn from an elevated bird’s-eye perspective, this map shows Somerville in the late 19th century, when the town was shaped by its railroad connections, agricultural fair grounds, local businesses, churches, civic buildings, and residential neighborhoods. The view looks across Somerville’s compact downtown, tree-lined streets, open fields, rail lines, and distant New Jersey hills, capturing the town as it appeared in 1882.
Notable landmarks shown on the map include the Agricultural Fair Grounds, New Jersey Central Railroad Station, Court House and Jail, Public School, First National Bank, Post Office and Internal Revenue Building, Honeyman Brothers Groceries, William Koehler Baker and Confectioner, H. R. Taylor Hotel and Bakery, Struve’s Building, Brown Brothers Manufacturing of Clothing, John H. Merz Jeweler, L. S. Doughty Lumber Yard, Ayers Groceries, First Reformed Church, Second Reformed Church, Episcopal Church, Methodist Episcopal Church, Baptist Church, German Church, and numerous historic homes, shops, roads, rail lines, and churches.
