NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY. The town was generally known as Brunswick during the Revolution, although both names were used. The original settlement was called Inian's [sic] Ferry and was home to the Lenape people. General William Howe's troops seized the city in their sweep through New Jersey in December 1776, creating panic in Philadelphia.
