InfoJoseph S. Frelinghuysen (JSF) Sr. the U.S. Senator (1917 - 1923) from Raritan, is remembered primarily for hosting then President Warren G. Harding at his home for the U.S. signing of the treaty to officially end the U.S. involvement in World War I. However, JSF had a long list of achievements many of which are forgotten and seldom appear in local history publications.

JSF Sr. was a politician, soldier, banker, businessman, orator, and dairy farmer. He was a co-founder of the The Raritan Valley Country Club which is still in existence today. He started a local dairy that served the community for decades. He was the first to enact legislation that required that automobile drivers must pass a written test and demonstrate their driving ability in order to legally drive a car. He hosted the only U.S. Presidential visits to Raritan and once served as the Acting Governor of New Jersey.
