GARWOOD

Garwood is a borough in Union County, NJ. It was incorporated as a borough in 1903 from portions of Cranford and Westfield townships. A suburban community located approximately 25 miles southwest of New York City, Garwood offers a balanced mix of residential areas, retail stores and manufacturing businesses.

An interesting fact about Garwood is that on the North side, the streets are named after trees and in the South side they are numbered, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Avenues, but there is no 1st. The Garwood station offers limited New Jersey Transit rail service on the Raritan Valley Line.
