Short Hills, Millburn, Livingston and the Summit New Jersey Area 


OVERVIEW

Summit is situated in New Jersey's second Watchung Mountain, overlooking the State of New Jersey from a 450-foot elevation. Its site is one of the highest points within a 25-mile radius, west of New York.

The Leni-Lenape Indians were the area's first settlers, followed by the Dutch in the 1600's. The English took claim of the settlement in 1664. During the Revolutionary War, Summit was known as "Turkey Hill". George Washington rode his horse from Morristown through Madison to Summit for the purpose of observing movements of the British Troops.

By the late 1770's, early 1800's, more and more people discovered the "salubrious mountain air" and healthful mineral waters and decided to leave the New York area for this mountain paradise during the summer. Over the years and decades, in surveys taken, Summit has consistently ranked in the top cities of New Jersey.

Shopping in Summit is special too! There are few communities of its size that can offer the charm and diversity of the downtown Summit center. The community has many prestigious businesses. A tradition of customer service runs deep through the many family owned and operated stores throughout the town.

The variety of shopping includes art galleries, interior design studios, gift shops, apparel stores for children and adults, sporting goods stores, florists, gourmet shops, family department store, antique shops and a variety of fine restaurants and informal dining places.

BRIEF HISTORY


The founding fathers and earliest settlers brought the New England, Connecticut, Long Island and British Isles Puritan heritage, which is dated from around 1710. Summit’s attraction was primarily due to it’s abundance in rabbits, turkey, timber for building and fertile land for growing wheat and corn. In addition, the Passiac River provided a plethora of fish to eat and water to float boats.

Summit’s original name of Summit was "Turkey Hill" which was created to differentiate it from "Turkey", as New Providence was known until 1750. When Summit separated itself from New Providence in 1869, it was formally named, the "Township of Summit". Thirty years later, in 1899, The City of Summit became incorporated.

Until 1837, Summit was primarily a farming community with approximately 300 people. This trend changed from rural farming and milling community to more of a commercial area. Post-Civil War, Summit became used as more of an affluent summer resort area as it offered mountain views, clean air and convenient travel to New York City.

Real Estate Tips
Working With An Agent >Selecting A Real Estate Agent

Finding the right real estate agent to help you in your search is the important first step to take when you are ready to buy a new home. Some people feel it is better to use someone you don't know--I can't agree with this thought because someone you know will usually go above and beyond the call of duty and have you as top priority at all times.

Knowledge, professionalism and experience are the important factors to consider when selecting a real estate agent. You should also look for someone who listens carefully to what you want in a new home and who knows the market well enough to find the right house for you within a reasonable period of time. Be comfortable with the person you choose. If you feel like the real estate agent is sensitive to your needs and desires, you will feel confident working with that person.
