Summit is a city in Union County, New Jersey, United States, and an affluent bedroom community of New York City. At the United States 2000 Census, the city population was 21,131. Summit has the 16th-highest per capita income in the state.

What is now the city of Summit was created as Summit Township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 23, 1869, from portions of New Providence Township (now Berkeley Heights) and Springfield Township. Summit was reincorporated as a city on March 8, 1899.

Beyond the obvious derivation from its position atop the Second Watchung Mountain, other theories have been offered to account for the city's name. The house in which Jurist James Kent lived starting in 1837 called Summit Lodge (today standing at 50 Kent Place Boulevard), and a local sawmill owner who granted passage to the Morris and Essex Railroad for a route required to climb to "the summit of the Short Hills" have both been offered as the source of the city's name.

Should team Canada wear this uniforms?
Q. In honour of 1972 summit series ( a key point in our history as will vancouver 2010) should Canada wear these jerseys bp2.blogger.com/.../ s200/1972jersey.jpg yes It has the red maple leaf across it (they could wear the other one too with the white maple leaf)
Asked by Jordan M - Tue May 19 16:13:28 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It would beneficial to have the link set up for viewing. Is this the one w/ the large Maple Leaf across the front of the jersey? I wouldn't have an issue with this (the Summit series brings back some great memories). I just don't think the Olympic marketing people would allow a relatively plain jersey to be "cool enough" to be sold to the masses. Note: It would be intriguing to seem the Summit series jersey (the one w/ the Red Maple Leaf) come out if they play Russia in Vancouver.
