San Margherita is located in the extreme northwestern
corner of Franklin Twp., along (and south of) Trabue
Road between Hague and McKinley Avenues.  Settled by
Italian immigrants, it is still an area of neat, well
kept middle class homes.  From the street you can see,
in many yards, the well cared for grape arbors.  Certainly
some of these vines arrived with the original immigrants.
The spiritual center of the community has always been San
Margherita Catholic Church located on Hague Avenue.  Some
of the men who settled in this area from Italy made their
livings working at the nearby Marble Cliff Quarry.
