Apparently about 100 years ago the towns of Metuchen, NJ and Glen Ridge, NJ argued about which town was "brainier." Both towns had many distinguished residents. Metuchen won the fight, and ever since have the town has been designated as "The Brainy Boro".
Even one of the post offices is dubbed "The Brainy Boro Station."
