Welcome to Springfield, NJ
Springfield is a historic and vibrant township in Union County, New Jersey, offering a scenic escape with immediate proximity to the urban energy of New York City. Originally settled in 1717 and incorporated in 1794, the town's rich past is most notably marked by the Battle of Springfield in 1780, a critical Revolutionary War engagement that halted the British advance into New Jersey.
Today, Springfield seamlessly blends its colonial heritage—visible in landmarks like the Cannon Ball House—with modern suburban conveniences. The local real estate market features a mix of historic homes and newer developments, attracting residents with its relative affordability, tree-lined streets, and strong community spirit. Neighborhood events, vibrant local commerce, and top-tier recreational facilities make it a highly desirable destination.
Commuters are especially drawn to Springfield due to its convenient location. While a primarily car-dependent community, it sits just minutes from the Millburn and Short Hills NJ Transit stations, offering rapid Midtown Direct service to New York Penn Station. With nearby natural escapes like the South Mountain Reservation and world-class amenities like the Baltusrol Golf Club, Springfield delivers an exceptional quality of life.
