In many ways, Somerville remains Somerset County's downtown, and is the heart of its designated Regional Center. Several of the factories in Somerville were abandoned and replaced with modern office buildings or remodeled as apartments. Somerville today and historically has had an important [[African American]] community, a distinguished member of which was [[Paul Robeson]]. Another famous Somerville native was famed character actor [[Lee Van Cleef]].
