New Jersey is the garden state, and Florham Park is its rose. This beautiful community is roughly 14 miles west of Newark, providing easy access to the nearby city but featuring a rural landscape filled with tall trees and flowerbeds. Florham Park is probably best known as the training center for the New York Jets -- it is also the location of BASF, the world's largest chemical corporation.

Florham Park was first settled by colonists around 1680 as Hoppingtown. It quickly gained a reputation for broom-making and the name was changed to Broomtown. When the granddaughter of America's richest citizen, Cornelius Vanderbilt, moved to the area in 1887, she named her 840-acre estate "Florham," a combination of her name, Florence, and her husband's, Hamilton. Florham Park became a borough in 1899.
