<h1 style="text-align: center;">Edison, <em>New York</em></h1>
<p>Edison, New Jersey, is the largest municipality in the state. Since the 1920&rsquo;s it has grown in population, commerce and industry. It serves as home to more than 100,00 residents as well as being a hub of highway networks which aids in the distribution of goods and services. Due to all of this, Edison&rsquo;s real estate market is booming.</p>
<p>The Edison real estate market has been thriving since the 1600&rsquo;s, when it was still known as Raritan Township- long before there would be interest in buying homes in the area. The first families to settle in Edison included the Dunhams, Hulls, Martins, Bonhams and FitzRandolphs. These families were the first to receive land grants. These names live on throughout the community in the form of street names and section names for the real estate market.</p>
<p>Despite records dating back to the 1600&rsquo;s it has been proven that humans inhabited Edison in prehistoric times as well. Skull and bone fragments were unearthed in Piscatawaytown and arrowheads and cooking implements were located during an archaeological dig in the Dismal Swamp. These items were said to have come from the Native American tribes living in the area- thus make them the first to have &ldquo;owned&rdquo; real estate in Edison.</p>
<p>The history of Edison is a rich, varied legacy and is far more than a collection of facts and figures, time lines of events and even the rich inventory of the historic sites and buildings.&nbsp;</p>
