Do you know of Metuchen ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Metuchen. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Metuchen.<1>

Our sources for Metuchen (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Metuchen other than they indicate that Metuchen would be found somewhere in Middlesex County, New Jersey.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1832.
