In 1975, voters approved changing the township's name to Old Bridge Township by a margin of 7,150 votes to 4,888. The name was changed to avoid confusion with the borough of Madison in Morris County. Old Bridge is a bedroom suburb of New York City located across the Raritan Bay from Staten Island, and it is about 25 miles (40 km) from Manhattan, and about 30 miles (48 km) south of Newark. The first inhabitants of the area known as Old Bridge were the Lenni Lenape Native Americans, known as the Unami, or "people down the river" They migrated to the shore each summer from their hunting grounds in the north. In 1683, the general assembly of East Jersey defined the boundaries of Middlesex and the three other original counties as containing all plantations on both sides of theRaritan River, as far as Cheesequake Harbor to the east, then southwest to the Provincial line, with the southwest line being the border of Monmouth and Middlesex Counties and the Township's southern border. The community of Old Bridge in East Brunswick became known as "the Old Bridge" because of the first bridge built across the river.
