Flemington, NJ Propane
The
county seat of Hunterdon
County, the Flemington borough, is coated within
central Hunterdon County and is home to more than 4500 residents. The majority
of the borough is located in the low-lying area of the Newark Basin, also known
as the Amwell Valley and the Raritan Valley. Finally, the Northwestern portions
of the borough sit in the Hunterdon Plateau.
The
Flemington area was originally settled by the Lenin Lenape Native Americans, a
historically matrilineal clan with twelve sub-clans throughout the East Coast.
In 1712, the Flemington area and 9,170 acres of land were acquired by William
Penn, founder of Philadelphia, and Daniel Coxe, an English physician, and
Governor of West Jersey. The area is well known for its rich soil, and many
early German and English settlers began farming and engaged in industries
dependent on farm products and animals. In 1785, Flemington was chosen to be
the County Seat of Hunterdon; however, a fire destroyed the old courthouse in
1826, and the city of Lambertville asked that the county seat be permanently
relocated there. Lambertville’s request was denied, and the Flemington
Courthouse was rebuilt on Main Street, where it sits today.
In
1870 Flemington was formed as a town by New Jersey Legislature from portions of
Raritan Township. In 1894, the town’s status was changed to a village and remained
in Raritan Township. In 1910, Flemington was incorporated as an independent
entity borough and formally separated from Raritan Township. In 1931, the
borough’s incorporation was confirmed, and the borough was officially named
after Samuel Fleming.
As
of 1980, more than 50% of Flemington borough has been included in the New
Jersey Register of Historic Places, and today, the Flemington Historic District
is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Some of
Flemington’s most predominant buildings include
Union
Hotel – An early 19th-century hotel in downtown Flemington that served as a
restaurant until its closure in 2008. The current structure was built in 1877
on the site of a stagecoach stop that dates back to 1814.
Flemington
Castle – The first house in Flemington and owned by Samuel Fleming. The castle
was purchased by the Borough of Flemington in 2005 and has operated as a
historical museum since.
