They fancied an English-style country mansion in a stately park setting. "Florham," built on , one of America's finest Gilded Age homes, was the result. The couple named their new estate "Florham," a combination of their first names, Florence and Hamilton. The second part to the name "Florham Park" received its name from a second mansion in town that was on about of land situated where the current Brooklake Country Club is located. Owned by Dr. Leslie Ward — one of the founders of the Prudential Insurance Company and the first vice president of the company — it was named "Brooklake Park", partially because of the beautiful lake that was on the property.〔Cheslow, Jerry.

After the legislature voted on March 9, 1899, the governor signed the bill on March 20, making Florham Park a borough.〔 The new town was named after Florence and Hamilton Twombly's and Dr. Ward's estates.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Florham Park, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
