Hunterdon was first established on March 11, 1714, after separating from Burlington County. Hunterdon’s rolling hills are known for their rich soil content and have produced bountiful crops for both Native American and European settlers in the area. Hunterdon land was purchased from the Native Americans from 1688-1758, with large land purchases taking place in 1703, 1709, and 1710. In total, 150,000 acres of New Jersey land was bough with clothing, blankets, barrels of rum and hard cider, guns, pots, and knives.
