Edison is crisscrossed by several major roads, including Interstate 287, the New Jersey Turnpike, U.S. Route 1, Route 27, and Route 440, with various sections and neighborhoods interspersed between them. Large acreages of the closed Raritan Arsensal, Camp Kilmer and the Edison Assembly have given way to mixed-use projects.
Some historical communities date to the 17th century; until the 20th century the township was a collection of "crossroad" communities. The sprawling township does not have an actual "downtown". A section of Raritan Township was taken to form Metuchen on March 20, 1900. While it is a separate municipality, it remains fully enclaved by and is the geographic center of Edison, a so-called 'doughnut' town.List of sections and neighborhoods
