Hampton is a small borough surrounded by farmland and natural areas
Located amid the rolling hills and forests of New Jersey’s Hunterdon County, Hampton is known for its country setting and small-town atmosphere. "It’s a hometown USA,” says Christopher Butler, a broker and branch manager at Re/Max Supreme who grew up in Hampton and has had family here since 1859. “It’s in a rural area that shows why New Jersey is still called the Garden State.” The Musconetcong River borders the community, and nearby reservoirs and recreation destinations offer more ways to enjoy the area’s natural beauty. Though there are few businesses in Hampton, Clinton and Washington are around 10 minutes away.
Circa 1800, Hampton consisted of a store, hotel, cabinet manufacturer, blacksmith, wheelwright shop, grist mill, school house and about 25 dwellings.
Hampton's beautiful scenery and inspiring setting gives credence to New Jersey's nickname of the 'Garden State'.

Fishing, kids’ sports and a dinner theater for recreation
Hampton Borough Park has a playground and access to the Musconetcong River, which is popular for fishing. “The state stocks it with trout,” Butler says. “On fishing opening day, so many people come to the river that you can’t find a square inch of water.” Nearby reservoirs, including Spruce Run Recreation Area and Round Valley Recreation Area, offer more fishing opportunities, plus hiking trails and campgrounds. Butler says that kids can learn to ride horses at the surrounding farms, and kids' athletics are a big deal. “All the towns here have their local baseball and soccer teams,” Butler says. The nearby Hunterdon Hills Playhouse is a dinner theater with monthly shows, including concerts, musicals and plays.
