Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Roseland, NJ

Roseland is a borough in western Essex County, New Jersey, that was incorporated on April 10, 1908, from portions of Livingston Township.

Roseland's land was part of the Horseneck Tract, some 14,000 acres that settlers purchased from the Lenni Lenape in 1702 for goods valued at $325, an area whose irregular shape suggested a horse's neck and head.

The community was originally named Centerville, but its name was changed to Roseland in 1874 to avoid confusion with the several other Centervilles spread across New Jersey.

Roseland's push for independence began in 1907, when a delegation of residents petitioned Livingston Township to build a school for the growing community and were rejected.

The 2020 census counted 6,299 residents in Roseland, living in 2,523 households, the borough's highest census count ever and an 8.2 percent increase over 2010.

The Becker Farm Railroad, a miniature railroad also known as the Centerville and Southwestern Railroad, carried riders on the Becker Farm from 1938 until 1972; the farm once covered nearly half of the borough and is now mostly a large business complex.

Payroll and human-resources giant Automatic Data Processing (ADP) is headquartered in Roseland.

Other companies based in Roseland include the law firms Lowenstein Sandler and Connell Foley, Curtiss-Wright, food maker B&G Foods, and the pharmaceutical company Organon, which opened its worldwide headquarters in the borough in 2003.

The Williams-Harrison House in Roseland is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

In the 2000 census, 32 percent of Roseland residents reported Italian ancestry, the 10th-highest percentage in New Jersey among places with more than 1,000 residents identifying their ancestry.
