Dismal Swamp (New Jersey)

Dismal Swamp

Location	Middlesex County, New Jersey
Area	650 acres (3 km²)

The Dismal Swamp is a marshy area in Middlesex County in central New Jersey. The marshes border the towns of Edison, South Plainfield, and Metuchen.^[1]

The Dismal Swamp is a wetland ecosystem located in an urban environment. The swamp covers nearly 650 acres (3 km²) with 12 acres (0 km²) located in Metuchen with the remaining portion in Edison and South Plainfield. The swamp contains a number of wildlife species, including the endangered loggerhead shrike. There are an estimated 165 different species of birds in the swamp.^[2]

History

The swamp's geology is part of the Passaic Formation and consists of sedimentary rock composed of red-brown shale.^[3]

Relics found in the swamp, believed to be from prehistoric times, include stone axes, spear heads, and arrow points indicating that the swamp was inhabited by early man.^[3]

It was known to the Lenape as Maniquescake. ^[4]

A vineyard was planted in the southern section of the swamp during the 1700s with subsequent agriculture development during the 1800s.^[3]

In the early 1900s a Russian exile settlement, New Petrograd, was established near the swamp near the Metuchen border.^[3]

It is believed that the name of the swamp comes from Dismal Brook, a stream that once flowed through the area.^[3]

The Triple C Ranch, located within Dismal Swamp, is headquarters to the Edison Wetlands Association. Located in the middle of the Swamp, and adjacent to 275 acres (1 km²) of land owned by Edison Township, the 5.27 acres (0 km²) ranch is one of the few remaining working farms in northern Middlesex County.^[5]

The Middlesex Greenway, a rail-trail, provides public access to some sections of the swamp.^[6]
