| Hi kck13: I believe the answer you are looking for is the *Graham Cracker*. Indulge Yourself in Somerset County?s Culture URL: http://www.somersetbusinesspartnership.com/tourism/tourism-questions.pdf Quote: "Which multi-million dollar food product can be associated with Bound Brook in the early 1800?s?...Graham Crackers. Sylvester Graham, who served as minister of Bound Brook Presbyterian Church from 1828-29, is the originator of the Graham Cracker, which made its debut in 1823 as a health food. He became a celebrated foods guru after he left Bound Brook." Graham Crackers URL: http://www.snopes.com/food/origins/graham.htm Quote: "Who actually produced the first 'graham crackers' ? so named because they were made of the unsifted wheat flour that Sylvester Graham promoted ? is the subject of dispute. Some sources assert Graham himself invented the snack in 1829; others claim the graham cracker did not come into being until 1882, thirty-one years after Graham's death. (The latter date appears to be based on the year recipes for graham crackers started appearing in cookbooks.)" Search Strategy (on Google): * "Bound Brook" first * "Bound Brook" invented * "Bound Brook" "graham cracker" * "graham cracker" history websearcher |

| Bound Brook was important in the early history of radio communications (Marconi did work there) and there was a Bakelite plant there, also. |
