Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Dayton, NJ

Dayton is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in South Brunswick Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey, the New Jersey place of that name, not the city in Ohio, and it has its own post office with ZIP Code 08810.

The community was originally called Cross Roads and was renamed Dayton in 1866 because mail kept being misdirected to another New Jersey post office with the same name.

According to the Township of South Brunswick's history, the new name honored William L. Dayton, an attorney for the Freehold and Jamesburg Agricultural Railroad who helped settle a railroad right-of-way dispute and later served as a United States Senator; other sources credit Jonathan Dayton, the youngest signer of the United States Constitution.

Dayton first appeared as a census-designated place in the 1990 United States census.

The 2020 census counted 8,138 people in Dayton, up from 4,321 in 1990, living in 2,708 households across the CDP's 2.43 square miles.

Dayton has one of the largest Indian American communities in the United States: in the 2000 census, 15.72% of residents identified as Indian American, the fourth-highest percentage of any American place with 1,000 or more residents reporting that ancestry, and by 2020 Asian residents had become the majority at 54.0% of the population.

U.S. Route 130 forms Dayton's eastern border and County Route 522 crosses the community, which drains southwest toward Devils Brook and northeast toward Lawrence Brook, on opposite sides of the Millstone and Raritan river watersheds.
