Previously known as "Perrytown" and "Unionville", Iselin received its current name after New York City investment banker and philanthropist Adrian Iselin, who established a finishing school in the 1870s for girls from wealthy New York families there.[15] Iselin additionally subsidized the erection of a new train station, which was later replaced by a newer station to the south known as Metropark.[16][17]
