In which New Jersey city is Johnson & Johnson's world headquarters located?

The story behind the answer

Johnson & Johnson's world headquarters is located in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

The company was founded in 1886 by brothers Robert Wood Johnson, James Wood Johnson, and Edward Mead Johnson. It began by producing sterile surgical dressings, responding to advances in antiseptic medicine and the need for safer medical supplies.

Johnson & Johnson's headquarters has long been associated with New Brunswick, a city in central New Jersey. The company has also maintained major facilities in nearby towns, which can create confusion about the exact headquarters location. Its businesses have included medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and consumer health products, although corporate restructuring has changed the organization of those businesses over time.

New Brunswick is also known for Rutgers University's main campuses and for its location along the Raritan River. Those neighboring institutions are separate from Johnson & Johnson's corporate headquarters.
