East Millstone, New Jersey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
East Millstone is an unincorporated area of Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey. It is a small rural borough that grew and prospered with a small industrial base in the 19th Century, centered around the Delaware and Raritan Canal at Amwell Road and the long abandoned Millstone and New Brunswick Railroad that terminated in East Millstone.
A sister city called Millstone, New Jersey, which is not part of Franklin Township, is located across the Millstone River, which is directly west of the Delaware and Raritan Canal.
East Millstone maintains its rural character into the 21st Century, with a firehouse, a post office and just a handful of local businesses. The housing stock is also quite old, with no new development in the East Millstone section of Franklin Township in recent years.
[edit] National Register of Historic Places
The East Millstone Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is district #83001613.
