Local histories

We would love for people to submit stories and media about the history of their local regions and neighborhoods.

Here's a perhaps-technically-indefensible but conceptually-valuable map put together by a stranger from Westfield: http://i.imgur.com/Pwnf4.jpg

Hopefully soon we can hear from the shoreline, the Ramapos, the Meadowlands and surrounding stretch where New York keeps dumping its junk, the Pine Barrens, and so on.

For now, here's a place where I'm starting to gather info on Middlesex County, since that's where I have the most connections to people with lots of knowledge, and can most easilly start researching more once I return to the northeast.
