A BRIEF HISTORY
The Lenni-Lenape Indians were the first to live at the foot of the mountains in Scotch Plains. In 1684, a group of Scottish immigrants cleared the land and built a community they called "Scotsplain", in honor of George Scot, their leader, who died at sea before reaching the land.
In the late 1600's and early 1700's, there were close to 8 families in the original settlement who lived in log cabins. This was the time when people traveled by horses and buggies on old Indian trails. These paths then became what are now the main streets of Scotch Plains. Scotch Plains grew slowly in population and was a farming community for close to 200 years. In 1775 the center of Scotch Plains consisted of 11 houses including the Stagecoach Inn.
In 1867, the train depot was given the name Fanwood and the 350 acres around it called Fanwood Park. These names were chosen to honor Fanny Wood, a daughter to one of the railroad officials. In 1953 there were more than 10,000 people in Scotch Plains. Today, even with a population of approximately 22,000, Scotch Plains holds on to its small town image. 
Selling Your Home >Marketing Techniques
When a seller lists a home with a real estate agent, a lot of brainstorming follows. Who are the potential buyers, where do they live and work? How can they be reached effectively with information that will attract them to this particular property?
In addition to advertising each home on the widely used Multiple Listing Service, professional real estate agents employ marketing techniques tailored to the individual home they are selling. An agent will review various buyer lists to find potential purchasers. They will use telephone and direct mail marketing, produce property flyers and advertise on the Internet, in the newspaper, in community publications and in real estate magazines. Contacts will be made to other agents who sell homes in the area to encourage them to show the home to prospective buyers.
Real estate agents combine pro-active marketing with realistic pricing to generate results for their home sellers.
