Summit New Jersey

Get to know the town of Summit. Summit is a city in Union County, New Jersey, USA. At the 2010 United States Census, the city's population was 21,457,[7][8][9] an increase of 326 (+1.5%) from the 21,131 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,374 (+7.0%) from the 19,757 counted in the 1990 Census.[15] Summit had the 16th-highest per capita income in the state as of the 2000 Census.[16]
What is now the city of Summit was incorporated as Summit Township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 23, 1869, from portions of New Providence Township (now Berkeley Heights) and Springfield Township. Summit was reincorporated as a city on March 8, 1899.[17]
The town's name may refer to its position atop the Second Watchung Mountain; it may also refer to Summit Lodge, the house to which jurist James Kent moved in 1837 and which stands today at 50 Kent Place Boulevard; or to a local sawmill owner who granted passage to the Morris and Essex Railroad for a route to "the summit of the Short Hills".[18]

Don't forget to mention the outrageous property taxes to pay for Elizabeth... Union County really gouges Summit there. Summit really changed after the Midtown Direct train service, much more of a small commuter city now -- hectic traffic and no easy parking. Great place to grow up '79-96. All my family is still there. Brayton has become factory-style education; my nieces are at Far Brook School now. SHS is unrecognizable. It has traditionally been an ex-urban place for wealthy New Yorkers going way back; some Fox News personage is a neighbor (several years of heavy equipment and that's a constant in north Summit). Homes for all budgets though. A few very small, quiet mafia relationships as well but you'd hardly know it. More "diverse" than it used to be (not that that's a good thing), though still politically conservative in a global-finance-meets-north-jersey sort of way. The transplanted wives of Wall Street are always full of bright ideas and, after widening the sidewalks, have succeeded of late in giving the downtown an expensively tacky vibe. But the older business owners and community people preserve the attitude of this little gem beneath the surface. Lots of local history for those interested, including minor events of the Revolutionary War.
