Rocky Hill Historic District

The Rocky Hill Historic District encompasses the historic core of Rocky Hill, New Jersey along Washington Street and Montgomery, Princeton, and Crescent Avenues.  The village is approximately one square mile and traces its beginnings to the 18th century, when George Washington stayed at Rockingham, and its major growth period to the second quarter of the 19th century.  The district encompasses 145 buildings, only 12 of which are non-contributing, and has sustained its historic character without the intrusion of modern structures or parking lots.  The most notable landmark in the village is Dutch Reformed Church, built in 1856 in the Carpenter Gothic style. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 8, 1982 for its significance in archeology, architecture and commerce.
