The Morgan family lived in the area for over 200 years and many family members, including Evertsons, are buried in the privately owned Morgan Cemetery, which overlooks Raritan Bay.
Charles Morgan III and his descendants, including Major General James Morgan and Lieutenant Nicholas Morgan, played significant roles in the Revolutionary War. Predating the incorporation of Sayreville, the Morgan Inn (later known as the Old Spye Inn) was established in 1703 in what is now the Morgan section of Sayreville. During the 20th century, amateur archaeologists found thousands of Indian artifacts at the location shown on the map. Attempting to buy land from the Native Americans, European settlers travelled up the Raritan River in 1663. This was noted on a 1656 New Netherland map by Adriaen van der Donck, a Dutch surveyor and map maker. Tribes of the Navesink lived along the South River where Jernee Mill Road is located today.
Native Americans were the first settlers of Sayreville. On April 2, 1919, the borough was reincorporated as the Borough of Sayreville and ratified by a referendum held on April 29, 1919. Sayreville was originally incorporated as a township on April 6, 1876, from portions of South Amboy Township. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 45,345, an increase of 2,641 (+6.2%) from the 2010 census count of 42,704, which in turn reflected an increase of 2,327 (+5.8%) from the 40,377 counted in the 2000 census. Sayreville is within the heart of the Raritan Valley region, located on the south banks of the Raritan River, and also located on the Raritan Bay.
Sayreville is a borough in Middlesex County, in the U.S.
