Golf Course Information
Description
The native people living in this area were the Raritans, of the Leni Lenape branch of the Delawares. They lived in a large wig-wam village near what is now Shackamaxon Golf Course and in the Ashbrook golf course area.
The first white man in this region was probably Verrazano in 1524 but the land was first claimed by the Dutch in 1609 as a result of Henry Hudson's explorations. The heartland of Scotch Plains was first owned by a Dutchman, Peter Sonmans, until the English conquest in 1664. Capt. John Baker bought the region from the Indians before 1684 paying one cent for every ten acres.
In 1684 and 1685 this village was settled by Scotch immigrants who had landed at Perth Amboy under the leadership of George Scot - thus, we were Scot's Plains. In these early days Scot's Plains was part of West Fields (later Westfield) which in turn was part of Elizabethtown.
