Phillipsburg

Phillipsburg is a town in Warren County situated along the Delaware River, where residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, and municipal buildings shape the streetscape. The community spans a compact area with mixed-use development that creates the center's distinct character.

The town was founded in the early 19th century and experienced growth after the Morris Canal's completion in 1829 connected it to New York. This transformation changed the place from an agricultural settlement into an important transportation junction for the region.

The town maintains five public schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through high school, with Phillipsburg High School educating 1,730 students.

The location is easily reached via multiple roads and offers good connections to neighboring communities and across the Delaware River. Visitors will find parking in various areas throughout town and can walk to most places.

At its peak as a transportation hub, five different railroad lines converged in the town, making it a center of regional commerce. This economic boom left marks on the architecture and street layout that remain visible today.
