Celebrating its 300th anniversary in 1997, Cranbury is one of the oldest towns in New Jersey. Cranbury derived its name from the brook on whose banks it had its beginning. During its early history the settlement was situated on an Indian Trail and later the village became an important stop on a main thoroughfare between the northern and southern colonies.

It is believed that there were settlers in Cranbury as early as 1680, but the first written record of a land sale "with improvements" was 1698. The Gristmill, built on Cranberry Brook around 1736, was probably the nucleus for the eventual development of the village.
