Edison subsequently left Menlo Park and moved his home and laboratory to West Orange in 1886. Christie Street was the first street in the world to use electric lights for illumination.

It was in his Menlo Park laboratory that Thomas Edison came up with the phonograph and a commercially viable incandescent light bulb filament. The Menlo Park lab was significant in that was one of the first laboratories to pursue practical, commercial applications of research. While there he earned the nickname 'the Wizard of Menlo Park.' Before his death at age 83 in 1931, the prolific inventor amassed a record 1,093 patents for creations including the phonograph, a stock ticker, the motion-picture camera, the incandescent light bulb, a mechanical vote counter, the alkaline storage battery including one for an electric car, and the first commercial electric light. In 1876, Thomas Edison set up his home and research laboratory in New Jersey on the site of an unsuccessful real estate development in Raritan Township called 'Menlo Park', (currently located in Edison State Park). The name was officially changed to Edison Township on November 10, 1954, in honor of inventor Thomas Edison, who had his main laboratory in the Menlo Park section of the township. Portions of the township were taken to form Metuchen on March 20, 1900, and Highland Park on March 15, 1905. What is now Edison Township was originally incorporated as Raritan Township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 17, 1870, from portions of both Piscataway Township and Woodbridge Township.

As of the 2010 United States Census, Edison had a total population of 99,967, retaining its position as the fifth-most populous municipality in New Jersey. Situated in north-central New Jersey, Edison lies within the core of the Raritan Valley region. Edison is a township in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States, in the New York City metropolitan area.
