SUMMIT

HISTORICAL SITE AND POPULAR FOR SO MANY COMMUTERS. A wonderful city to call HOME.

THE HISTORY OF THE CITY OF SUMMIT:  In 1837, the railroad came over the "The Summit" hill, whose name was later shortened to Summit. During the Revolutionary period and for some time afterwards Summit was called the "Heights over Springfield" and was considered a part of New Providence. The original name of Summit was "Turkey Hill" to mark it apart from "Turkey", as New Providence was known until 1750.

In 1869, Summit separated itself from New Providence and became the "Township of Summit". Thirty years later on April 11 1899, The City of Summit was incorporated.

Summit has over 21,000 residents comprised of an international group speaking 39 languages with a broad economic and ethnic cross-section, largely mirroring the makeup of the nation as a whole. Housing is available to all levels of income including subsidized housing for senior citizens, and low- and middle-income families.  It is six miles in size.   Visit Summit today to view the wonderful homes.

It is also home to the oldest diner in the State of New Jersey - THE SUMMIT DINER.
