Highland Park is depicted as a welcoming small town that has evolved from a population of 700 in 1905 to 14,000 today. Its charm lies in good schools, tree-lined streets, and vibrant community events like soapbox derbies and parades. Established as a trolley suburb across from New Brunswick, it features local shops and sensible governance. The narrative highlights the transformation from farmland to residential areas, including large apartment complexes post-World War II, while celebrating the town's strong sense of community and pride.
