Deans is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP)[5] in South Brunswick Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey, in the United States.[6] As of the 2020 United States census, Deans had a population of 1,615.[3]

History

[edit]

Deans originated from its location on both Crosswicknung Trail (Georges Road) and Lawrence Brook. Dams were built on the brook, creating Deans Pond.

Geography

[edit]

The community is situated around the intersection of Deans Lane (County Route 610) and Georges Road (CR 697). CR 610 continues east from the community on Deans Rhode Hall Road; other transportation facilities that pass near Deans include U.S. Route 130 just east of the community and the Northeast Corridor railroad to the west (a station serving the community once existed[7]). Residential homes dot the area around Deans, but some businesses line nearby arterial roads, and large warehouses are situated along Industrial Way at US 130.[8] New Brunswick, the Middlesex county seat, is 7 miles (11 km) to the northeast, while Trenton, the state capital, is 20 miles (32 km) to the southwest.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Deans CDP has a total area of 1.13 square miles (2.93 km2), of which 0.01 square miles (0.03 km2), or 1.06%, are water.[1] The community is drained by Lawrence Brook, a northeast-flowing tributary of the Raritan River.
