Exterminators

Bernards Township of Somerset County, New Jersey has a population of about 27,800. An early settler named John Harrison purchased the land from the Lenni-Lenape tribe of Native Americans on June 24, 1717. It was later officially formed by royal charter on May 24, 1760, as Bernardston.

The area has a rich and interesting history. General George Washington and General Marquis de Lafayette held a meeting under the landmark white oak tree while the colonial troops rested nearby. During World War I, Governor Woodrow Wilson made a speech on Basking Ridge village green. Once the railroad came to Basking Ridge in 1872, Bernards Township became a popular summer vacation spot for city-dwellers who stayed at local farms and homesteads. In 1931, President Calvin Coolidge gave his approval for the building of a VA hospital. It was the largest of its kind in the area and sparked population growth.

Today, Bernards Township is home to the headquarters for Barnes & Noble College Booksellers, Verizon Wireless, and Hitachi Power Systems USA. Bernards Township is within easy driving distance of New York City and is a popular commuter home base.
