North Brunswick During a tour of the farm at the New Jersey Museum of Agriculture in North Brunswick, on Dairy Day, Joey Sokolowski, 2, of Cranford gets the lowdown on the cows. The township of North Brunswick offers its residents a high standard of recreation in a community-oriented environment located between New York and Philadelphia on the New Jersey Turnpike. The township is predominantly a residential community with single-family homes and condominiums in an excellent school district. It is a continually growing community with residents taking an active role in government. The town has a very involved police department that is always available to assist residents. The government also offers a variety of local activities to residents. The township serves as a home for companies like Johnson & Johnson, DeVry Institute, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. The Youth Sports Festival, Heritage Day, Memorial Day events, and the Carnevale Italiano represent some of the many events that make North Brunswick an attraction for both residents and welcomed visitors.
