Woodbridge and Vicinity draws readers into the heart of Middlesex County, chronicling the intertwined histories of Woodbridge, Piscataway, Metuchen and their neighbours from colonial settlement to the dawn of modern America.

Every page is a portal for genealogy and family research, inviting both casual readers and local historians to trace the evolution of families, faiths, and civic life across centuries. With a keen eye for detail, Dally explores the foundations of New Jersey church history, mapping the rise of different ecclesiastical bodies alongside the growth of townships and parishes.
