When surveying the area now known as Maplewood, Robert Treat found several trails used by Lenape tribes of Algonquin Native Americans, though there was only sparse pre-European settlement. These paths form the basis for what are the town’s main thoroughfares today.
Theodore Roosevelt spent several summers in Maplewood visiting his uncle Cornelius V.S. Roosevelt’s home and property, known as The Hickories, covering 100 acres. This area is now partly covered by Roosevelt Road and Kermit Place. In the early 1900s, a tree bearing an inscription by Teddy Roosevelt was cut down from the front lawn of 36 Roosevelt Road.
Maplewood was the home town of Agnes Sligh Turnbull (1888-1982), who wrote a series of novels in the middle 20th century. Maplewood was also the home of Harriet Stratemeyer Adams, the syndicate owner and one of the ghost writers of the Nancy Drew series. It is also the birthplace of the wooden golf tee, invented by William Lowell at the Maplewood Golf Club in 1921.
The township has a downtown area alternatively known as "the village" or "Maplewood Center" with its own movie theater, several upscale and midscale restaurants, a small supermarket, independent café, two liquor stores, and a small bookstore. The structure of the village is largely unchanged since the 1950s.
Popular Culture: The park scene in 1998's Stepmom is filmed in Maplecrest Park in Maplewood and in the 2004 film The Polar Express, Maplewood is mentioned as the place where "Steven" lives.
