Somerset Hills
The Somerset Hills is known as the northern region of Somerset County located in the central portion of the U.S. state of New Jersey and includes the municipalities of Bedminster, Bernardsville, Bernards Township, Far Hills, and Peapack-Gladstone. The neighboring municipalities of the Chesters (Borough and Township) and the Mendhams (Borough and Township) in southwestern Morris County are periodically recognized as part of the Somerset Hills.
The Somerset Hills is in the northern section of Somerset County that was created on May 14, 1688, from portions of Middlesex County.
The term was coined in the early 1800s and references the 2nd Watchung Mountain which crosses Bedminster as well as the Bernardsville Mountain that is the highest mountain in the region.

Each serves as the county seat for Somerset County and Morris County. Both communities feature commercial centers and industrial areas and can be reached via Interstate 287.
