Over the past century, Highland Park's large farm and estate lands have been parceled into smaller suburban residential plots. Watson Whittlesey's Livingston Manor development, begun in 1906, is perhaps the best known example. There have been many other tract developments such as the Viehmann Tract, also on the north side, Riverview Terrace on the south side, Raritan Park Terrace in the triangle between Raritan and Woodbridge Avenues, and East New Brunswick Heights in the Orchard Heights neighborhood.

By 1930, most of Highland Park's land had been sub-divided and its streets mapped out. It has taken years of continuously constructing houses and apartment buildings to create our largely residential borough.

Highland Park's industrial development in the 19th and 20th centuries has included such businesses as Johnson & Johnson, The John Waldron Machine Company, and the Janeway & Carpenter Wall-paper factory. Our commercial zones along both Raritan and Woodbridge Avenues have been filled with many small family businesses, some which have lasted for generations.

Throughout the 20th century, Highland Park's religious institutions, educational facilities, and municipal governance have kept pace with the growth of the town. The trends of local autonomy and control that shaped Highland Park in the past continue to this day.
