 Welcome To Hampton

Hampton Borough, on the banks of the Musconetcong River, has changed little since it was first settled in 1800.  In 1880, the town consisted of a store, hotel, cabinet manufacturer, blacksmith, wheelwright shop, grist mill, school house and about 25 dwellings. Hampton was once known as "Junction" because the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad crossed through here.

What is now Hampton was originally incorporated as Junction Borough on February 20, 1895, from portions of both Lebanon Township and Bethlehem Township.  The name was changed to Hampton Borough as of February 11, 1909, by resolution of the Borough Council.  And in 1931, additional territory was annexed from both Glen Gardner and Bethlehem Township.

Rt. 31 Safety Improvements / Bridge Construction
On Friday, February 17, NJDOT's contractor is scheduled to begin initial construction activity at the Route 31 intersection with Main Street Hampton/Glen Gardner.

*    The intersection will be modified and restriped to restrict Main Street motorists from crossing the state highway or making left turns onto Route 31 from either Main Street approach.

*    The left-turns from both directions of Route 31 onto Main Street will now be restricted.

Upon completion of the intersection improvements work, the contractor will begin work to replace the bridge. NJDOT will build a new single span structure, which will be wider than the existing bridge to accommodate a lengthened northbound climbing lane, providing northbound lanes on the bridge, and full-width shoulders. A new six foot wide sidewalk will be built on the southbound side of the bridge.

The project is expected to be complete in fall 2013. 

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation during the construction period.
