Hightstown was incorporated as a borough on March 5, 1853, within portions of East Windsor Township. The borough became fully independent c. 1894. Additional portions of East Windsor Township were annexed in 1913, 1915 and 1927. It was named for the Hight family.

The borough is an independent municipality surrounded entirely by East Windsor Township. Hightstown is at the central-most point of New Jersey and is roughly equidistant from Philadelphia and New York City.

Hilly Kristal, founder and owner of New York City punk club CBGB was born and raised in Hightstown.
