Watchung is a Borough in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. The Borough of Watchung was organized on April 20, 1926 and covers an area of approximately 6.2 Square miles. Watchung was settled in the early eighteenth century and grew slowly until recent years. In 1960 the population was 3,312 and in 2000 it was 5,613.

Watchung, from the 1900s was a semi-rural small community of about 3,200 people in comparison with the relatively much larger and wealthier cities of Plainfield and Somerville. Even as late as the 1960's, it was common for residents to know one another by name, with few moving in or out of the town. The 1967 Plainfield riots caused an exodus of the large upper-middle class population to move to the Watchung Hills including Watchung, Warren Township and Bridgewater Township. It was at this time that Watchung became a bedroom community and the average income and median house prices soared.
