Barclay Farms was built on the site of the historic Barclay Farmstead. The farmstead was built in 1816 by a Quaker farmer Joseph Thorn.

Besides the mature trees, one of the wonderful things about the neighborhood is that one of New Jersey’s historic places exists here. Listed on the National & New Jersey Registers of Historic Place, 32 acres of the original Barclay Farmstead is still in existence and is open for tours.
