The resolution designates March 10, 2026, as South Plainfield Day in New Jersey to honor the 100th anniversary of the Borough of South Plainfield, which was incorporated on March 10, 1926. This centennial celebration coincides with the national observance of the 250th anniversary of the United States. The resolution highlights the rich history of the Borough, including its early inhabitants such as the Lenape, Quakers, and Baptists, as well as its significance during the American Revolutionary War, where it served as a military crossroads.
In recognition of this milestone, the Borough plans various celebratory activities throughout the year, including a reenactment of its first council meeting, the placement of a time capsule, an essay contest, and the unveiling of Centennial Square at Putnam Park. The resolution calls upon public officials and citizens to observe South Plainfield Day with appropriate activities and programs, acknowledging the contributions of the Borough's residents and businesses to the community and the state.
