Back

Readington is a township in the easternmost corner of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, in the rolling hills and farmland of the state's western countryside. The 2020 census counted 16,128 residents. The township is among New Jersey's most rural and spread-out, a patchwork of working farms, horse properties, preserved open space, and scattered villages rather than a single downtown. Readington is composed of several small communities, including Whitehouse Station, Three Bridges, Readington Village, Stanton, and Potterstown, each with its own historic character. Whitehouse Station, anchored by its NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line station, serves as a commercial and transportation hub, while the township's agricultural heritage remains visible in its preserved farmland and equestrian estates. Solberg Airport, a family-owned general-aviation field on 744 acres, is a notable local institution. The township has long prioritized open-space preservation, a policy that has shaped its low-density, rural character and protected farmland and natural areas from the suburbanization that defines much of central New Jersey. That commitment makes Readington a sought-after location for buyers seeking acreage, privacy, and a country setting. Education is provided by Readington Township Public Schools for grades K-8 — a four-school district classified in the state's highest socioeconomic factor groups — followed by Hunterdon Central Regional High School, which Readington shares with several neighboring municipalities. For commuters, Interstate 78, U.S. Route 22, and Routes 31 and 202 provide regional access, and the Raritan Valley Line at Whitehouse Station offers rail service toward Newark and New York. The result is a township that balances genuine rural living with practical access to the employment centers of central New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, and the New York metropolitan area.
