Double the Fun

As a central New Jersey courier company zipping across the Garden State, we've seen our fair share of quirky town names. But did you know that New Jersey likes to keep us on our toes with towns that share the same name? That's right, folks – it's not just your GPS having a meltdown!

Let's take a whirlwind tour of New Jersey's name-twinning towns, shall we?

1. Washington, Washington, and... Washington?
   You read that right! New Jersey boasts not one, not two, but THREE Washingtons. There's Washington Township in Bergen County, another in Burlington County, and yet another in Warren County. Our drivers always double-check which Washington they're headed to – we wouldn't want your package ending up crossing the Delaware instead of arriving at your doorstep!

2. Franklin's Identity Crisis
   Benjamin Franklin must have been a popular guy because we've got five Franklins! There's Franklin Township in Somerset County (our neck of the woods), plus others in Gloucester, Hunterdon, Sussex, and Warren counties. Our tip? Always include the county when you're shipping to Franklin – unless you want your package to take a scenic tour of the state!

3. The Clinton Conundrum
   No, we're not talking politics here. New Jersey has a Town of Clinton in Hunterdon County and a Clinton Township... also in Hunterdon County. They're right next to each other, just to keep things interesting. Our drivers have learned to ask, "Clinton or Clinton Township?" – it's like a secret handshake around here.

4. Union's United Front
   Union County has a Union Township, but so does Hudson County. And just to spice things up, there's also a Union City in Hudson County. It's like they're trying to form a union of Unions!

5. The Greenwich Meridian... or Not
   We've got a Greenwich Township in Gloucester County and another in Warren County. Our drivers joke that they're time-traveling when they deliver between these two – but don't worry, your same-day delivery will still arrive in the same century!

6. The Asbury Ambiguity
Just when you thought we were done, New Jersey throws another curveball our way! We've got Asbury Park in Monmouth County, famous for its beaches and boardwalk, and then there's Asbury in Warren County, a small unincorporated community. Our drivers know the difference - one might have them delivering to a beachfront concert, while the other could lead to a charming rural farm. It's all part of the New Jersey charm!

As a central New Jersey courier company, we've learned to embrace these quirks. Whether we're racing to deliver a package to the bustling shores of Asbury Park or navigating the quiet roads to Asbury in Warren County, we're always up for the challenge.
These name twins across New Jersey keep our job exciting and remind us why local knowledge is so crucial in the world of same-day delivery and fast freight. No matter which Asbury, Washington, Franklin, Clinton, Union, or Greenwich you're shipping to, our team knows exactly where to go.
So next time you're puzzling over a New Jersey address, just remember: in the Garden State, good things (and town names) often come in pairs... or more! And whether your package is headed to the beach or the countryside, our team is ready to cut through the confusion and deliver right on time.
After all, navigating New Jersey's twin towns is just another day in the life of a courier who's committed to getting your packages where they need to go - no matter how many times we have to double-check the map!
