Although tiny in size, Fanwood is big in history and character, sporting the oldest working train station in the state and quiet, quaint streets.

The borough is very proud of the Millenium Clock, an old-fashioned clock paid for by fundraisers. The clock stands near the train station and the center of town and is a reminder of the last millenium - and a testament to the future of the borough.

The borough shares an excellent school system with Scotch Plains and has seen an influx of young and active families in the recent past.

The Borough Council has worked hard to promote the quality of life in Fanwood and has begun a campaign to increase the profile and variety of the downtown area.

Fanwood is called home by over 7,100 residents who occupy its 1.3 square miles.
