Ideally located about 10 miles southwest of Newark and 18 miles from New York City, Roselle is a cozy borough for those looking for a quieter place to call home. First settled around 1664, Roselle was settled by farmers looking for better farmland. It was part of the first New Jersey settlement called Elizabethtown. The borough was officially incorporated in 1894 as Roselle.
Today, this terrific community features beautiful parks and great shopping. Warinanco Park, the borough's largest park, offers ball fields, a running track, a playground, pedal boats, an ice skating rink, a fitness trail, a bicycle path, fishing, a spray pool, tennis courts, picnic areas, and shuffleboard. Roselle's tree-lined streets are mainly residential, with a shopping district located between Westfield Avenue and West 1st Avenue.
