==History== | ==History== | ||
| − | + | established in 1910 as the Belle Mead | |
| − | + | farm Colony and sanatorium by Dr. | |
| − | + | John Joseph Kindred, the facility we | |
| − | + | now know as Carrier Clinic was initially | |
| − | + | brought to life via the inspiration | |
| − | + | “to establish and maintain a colony | |
| − | + | for the care and treatment of sick | |
| + | persons, and particularly for the care | ||
| + | and treatment of nervous and mental | ||
| + | diseases and also all allied diseases.” | ||
| + | even back then, Belle Mead in | ||
| + | Montgomery township, new Jersey, | ||
| + | was the ideal place for such a farm | ||
| + | colony, with its fertile land and | ||
| + | convenient access to new York and | ||
| + | philadelphia where products could be | ||
| + | easily transported via the philadelphia | ||
| + | and reading railroad. | ||
| + | indeed, the first object listed in the | ||
| + | Certificate of incorporation was to | ||
| + | operate as a commercial farm | ||
