Plainfield is a city in Union County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, known by its nickname as “The Queen City.” The city is both a regional hub for Central New Jersey and a bedroom suburb of the New York Metropolitan area, located within the core of the Raritan Valley region. As of the 2020 United States census, the city’s population, majority Latino for the first time, was 54,586. This was an deposit of 4,778 (+9.6%) from the 2010 census total of 49,808, which in perspective reflected an addition of 1,979 (+4.1%) from the 47,829 counted in the 2000 census.

The area of present-day Plainfield was originally formed as Plainfield Township, a township that was created on April 5, 1847, from portions of Westfield Township, while the area was nevertheless part of Essex County. On March 19, 1857, Plainfield Township became share of the newly created Union County.

Plainfield was incorporated as a city by an dogfight of the New Jersey Legislature on April 21, 1869, from portions of Plainfield Township, based upon the results of a referendum held that same day. The city and township coexisted until March 6, 1878, when Plainfield Township was dissolved and parts were absorbed by Plainfield city, with the remainder becoming Fanwood Township (now known as Scotch Plains).
