Bedminster is a historic township located in Somerset County in north-central New Jersey. As of the 2010 census, the population was 8,165 residents. Bedminster was originally settled in 1710 by Dutch, Germans and Scots-Irish immigrants and named for a town in Somerset, England. Parts of the township were taken in 1912 to form Peapack-Gladstone. The community of Pluckemin and part of the community of Pottersville are a part of Bedminster. Bedminster is most well-known for having one of the most historic Revolutionary War sites in the United States known as the Pluckemin Continental Artillery Cantonment Site. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but is not open to the public. General Henry Know, chief of the Continental Army artillery, was responsible for building what was the country's first military artillery training academy, a forerunner to the United States Military Academy at West Point, at this site. The Pluckemin Artillery Cantonment was the Continental Armys artillery winter cantonment during the winter of 1778-1779. Other terms used to reference the site include the Pluckemin Artillery Park, The Pluckemin Military Academy, and The Pluckemin Artillery Encampment. Today, at the site, there are no buildings or trails - just an overgrown wooded area. However, you can learn about the cantonment site is at the Vanderveer/Knox House & Museum, just to the north and west of the site on Route 202/206.

Bedminster Weather & Climate

Central New Jersey has a humid continental climate. Hot, humid summers and cold winters are the norm. The northern edge of this central weather zone is often the boundary between freezing and non-freezing precipitation during wintertime. In summer, it's the boundary between very humid and comfortable conditions. Spring is mild, but erratic. Autumn is sunny with mild days and cool nights. Average snowfall in central New Jersey is 15-30 inches. An interesting note: the concentration of buildings, paved surfaces, asphalt and concrete in the cities serve to retain more heat, and thus affect local temperatures. This phenomenon is often referred to as a "heat island".
