Security Guards in Manville, NJ

Manville is a borough in central Somerset County near the Raritan River and the mouth of the Millstone River. The community grew rapidly around a major twentieth-century manufacturing complex and developed a compact pattern of worker housing, neighborhood businesses, schools, houses of worship, and industrial properties. Main Street and Route 28 connect Manville with Somerville, Bound Brook, Hillsborough, and Bridgewater, while nearby Interstate 287 and Routes 202 and 206 provide wider access. Rail lines and river crossings continue to influence the borough's layout. The low-lying river setting has shaped local planning and flood-control efforts throughout its history. Manville contains older residential streets, apartment buildings, parks, civic facilities, shopping areas, and remaining employment properties. Its industrial heritage and close-knit neighborhood pattern give it a distinct identity compared with the larger and more suburban townships that surround it.
