South Plainfield Borough was officially incorporated on April 6, 1926. According to the borough's own history, Mayor William Hamilton took the oath of office on March 12, 1926, from Middlesex County Clerk F. William Hilker — followed by South Plainfield's first councilmen Charles H. Thorton Jr., Milton Mende, Henry Brentnall, Albert J. Dellavalle, Michael Pomponio, and Robert A. Ritter. After receiving permission from Piscataway Township and the State of New Jersey, South Plainfield was officially incorporated as its own municipality from portions of Piscataway Township. South Plainfield's development was thwarted by the onset of the Great Depression — during the 1930s most residents managed to survive as farmers, day laborers, or W.P.A. workers.

To a large extent South Plainfield's landscape was formed thousands of years ago by a Glacier. As the Glacier inched across the borough from the direction of New Durham Avenue towards Woodland Avenue it picked up soil along the way. As a result the two highest points in town are where the Glacier started (Durham Avenue near what is now the Prudential/Motorola building) and where it began to melt (Woodland Avenue near the West Nine Golf Course). In the middle a flat basin was formed near what is now Spring Lake. That is why all the good topsoil is on the north side of town and the soil content on the south side is shale. This glacial geology made the high points important as prehistoric hunters arrived on the scene. South Plainfield is also home to Cedar Brook Park, which spans the borough and its Union County neighbor Plainfield. Mayor Matthew P. Anesh. ZIP 07080.
