Springfield Township is located in northern Union County between the Route 22 corridor and the Watchung foothills. The municipality is primarily suburban, with established residential neighborhoods, local shopping areas, schools, parks, professional offices, and healthcare practices. Interstate 78, Route 24, Route 22, and nearby Morris Avenue provide connections to Newark, Morristown, Summit, and central New Jersey. The township borders Millburn, Summit, Mountainside, Union Township, and Kenilworth. Baltusrol Golf Club occupies a large area along Springfield’s western side and is one of the community’s best-known landmarks. The Rahway River and several tributaries cross the township, contributing to local parks and natural areas. Springfield’s history reaches back to the colonial era, and the Battle of Springfield during the American Revolution remains an important part of its identity. Today, the township combines convenient regional access with compact neighborhoods and a small-town civic center.
