Do you know of South Bound Brook ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about South Bound Brook. 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 South Bound Brook.<1>

Our sources for South Bound Brook (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 South Bound Brook other than they indicate that South Bound Brook would be found somewhere in Somerset County, New Jersey.
