High Bridge Borough is located on the South
Branch of the Raritan River in the north central part of the County. Water
from the South Branch was a valuable power source for the first iron works
in the United States which was established in the vicinity by William
Allen and Joseph Turner of Philadelphia. The New Jersey Central Railroad
built a high bridge across the river from which structure the locality
ultimately took its name. The Borough was officially formed from the former
High Bridge Township in 1898.
