Raritan Township, New Jersey
Hunterdon County's central township — a mix of neighborhoods, farms, open space, medical services and the Route 31 / Route 202 commercial corridors surrounding Flemington Borough.
Municipal boundary note: Flemington Borough is completely surrounded by Raritan Township but is a separate municipality. Many Raritan Township businesses use a Flemington mailing address or the 08822 ZIP code, so NJTGO organizes listings by municipal location rather than postal city name.
About Raritan Township
