Cottrell Corners is an unincorporated community located within Old Bridge Township in Middlesex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. [2] Located at the corner of Old Bridge-Matawan Road ( County Route 516) and Cottrell Road, the area is named for the Cottrell Family who owned an apple farm at the crossroads since before the United States was founded. [2] [3] Though the last parcel of the farmland had originally been sold to a developer in 2002, the Middlesex County Freeholder Board purchased the property and intends to preserve it. [3] In addition to the farm, the area contains stores, a townhouse development, and is the seat of the Old Bridge municipal offices and library. [2]
