Woodbridge Township is a township in Middlesex County, New Jersey. The town was named for Reverend John W. Woodbridge of Newbury, Massachusetts, who settled there in 1664. It was granted a royal charter in 1669, and it became a township in 1798. Portions of the township were taken to form Rahway in 1858, Edison in 1870, and Carteret in 1906. Woodbridge was initially a hub of brick manufacturing due to its wealth of clay deposits, but it grew into a suburb of New York City during the 1940s and 1950s due to the presence of a NJ Transit train station and its proximate access to the New Jersey Turnpike. In 2016, Woodbridge had a population of 101,389 people.
