Flemington is a quiet borough with experiences close by
Before Flemington became a borough of Raritan Township, it was a rural settlement full of Dutch and German farmers. The borough was named after resident, farmer and tavern owner Samuel Fleming, whose 18th-century home is now a local history museum. Today, Flemington is known for its historic buildings, access to popular retail spots and highly rated schools.
“Flemington was originally known as Raritan Township," says Beverly Yoson, a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Realty with over 10 years of experience. "It became separate from Raritan Township and was incorporated in 1910. Today, it's still known as Flemington Borough in Hunterdon County. There’s the Flemington borough, and then the area around it is Raritan Township, and they share the same zip code of 08822. The borough is a diverse area, with lots of different cultural activities. On Main Street, you'll find a variety of different diverse restaurants, along with antique shops, exercise studios and charming retail stores."
Downtown Flemington has boutiques, antiques, gifts, and local charm in a walkable setting.
