#16 in Best Places to Raise a Family in Middlesex County

Colonia is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within Woodbridge Township in Middlesex County. In 1919, the New Jersey State Highway Commission built a new road that became part of the Lincoln Highway, an early plan to create a transcontinental highway. The stretch was constructed on the west side of the Pennsylvania Railroad (now the Northeast Corridor) from near the northeast of Dow Avenue between Colonia and Iselin to Cedar Street in Menlo Park, to avoid two railroad crossings. The old road is now Middlesex-Essex Turnpike and Thornall Street, on the east side of the tracks.

As of the 2010 United States Census, the census-designated place (CDP) population was 17,795.
