Here is a post-Memorial Day Holiday Weekend collection of articles and house photos woven together from searches of Admiral Farragut as a thread to connect to his namesake streets here in North Plainfield.
Click the article or photo images to enlarge them, enjoy!
1891 article about making Farragut Road open to the public and extended to second street
This map below (oriented facing east, you'll note Mountain Ave on the left)
is a Somerset county declaration and map signed by JT Johnston granting Farragut road as a public road
from the Netherwood Estate

112 Farragut Road
162 Farragut Road
Relief gardens planted on corner of Farragut Road and Mountain Ave
... because what is confusing using the name on more than one road, Meadowbrook?
is a Somerset county declaration and map signed by JT Johnston granting Farragut road as a public roadfrom the Netherwood Estate
83 Farragut Place
Always a friendly place
1922 survey, note it still shows Eva Coe (nee Johnston) owning the land above
88 Farragut Road, the 2nd model home of the Meadowbrook neighborhood
1898 map showing Farragut, with some indication it went further over what is today Mountain Ave
Not sure, but my guess is the Farragut residence may have been the square near what is North Jackson today, left side middle of Farragut Road on the map
There is also a nice monument statue of Admiral Farragut at Madison Square Park in NYC (26 & 5th) to visit.
