Headquarters is an unincorporated community located within Delaware Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States.[2] The settlement is centered around the crossing of Zentek Road over the Caponockons Creek, near the intersection of Zentek Road and Ringoes-Rosemont Road (County Route 604).[3] The area is part of the Headquarters Historic District, a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Headquarters was the site of a mill established in 1735, one of the first in Hunterdon County. The industry thrived until the early 20th century when the mill shut down. The district was first established as a historic area by Delaware Township in the 1980s to push back against a widening of CR 604. It is now on the national list of historic districts with a renewal of its boundaries occurring in 2016.[4]
