History
Founding of the village
Raritan was founded by settlers of Dutch Reformed Church who originated from Raritan, New Jersey.
"In the southeast corner of Henderson county, the village of Raritan began in 1856 when a group of immigrants of the Dutch Reformed denomination from New Jersey came to what was then called Bedford Precinct. Since many of the settlers came from New Jersey towns located along the Raritan River, it was only natural for them to name their new community after the land they left behind."[2]
