Fanwood, a Borough located in Union County, New Jersey, had a total population of 7,174 in 2000. Dutch, English and finally, Scotch, settlers originally built the land into a prospering community as a part of Scots Plains which, itself, was a part of Elizabethtown. In 1867 the train depot on Midway Avenue was given the name Fanwood and the 350 acres around it called Fanwood Park. This name was used to honor Fanny Wood, a daughter of a railroad official. In 1869 the Excelsior Hood and Ladder Co. No. 1, a volunteer firefighter company, was founded.
In 1877 Scotch Plains divorced itself from Westfield and became Fanwood Township. In 1895 one mile of land in the center separated itself and became Fanwood Borough. The railroad brought commuters and vacationers to Fanwood whose progressive ideas clashed with those of long-time residents of Scotch Plains. Clayton's History of Union County, dated 1882, noted a Fanwood-only population of 324 - including three churches, one schoolhouse, two taverns, three grocery stores, a dry goods store, a paper factory, a drugstore, a shoemaker and two butchers. A formal public library was established in 1888, the same year the stone "Union Church," now Willow Groove Presbyterian, was built.
Today, the Borough of Fanwood is still surrounded by that active train depot, dutifully sending commuters and pleasure seekers to New York City
