Frenchtown, Administrative borough in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States.
Frenchtown extends over 1.23 square miles along the Delaware River, featuring a mix of residential areas and commercial buildings near the riverfront.
European settlement began around 1750, followed by French Huguenot refugees who established themselves in the area after fleeing religious persecution.
The Frenchtown Historic District contains more than 400 buildings representing different architectural periods across 100 acres of land.
