Franklin Township-Warren County Localities New Jersey United States
The Township of Franklin was settled during the period preceding the Revolutionary War. Its name was in honor of Benjamin Franklin.New Village was first settled in the early 1800's. Due to the activity with the Morris Canal and later a trolley system that went from Port Colden to Phillipsburg, New Jersey, several buildings were erected and slowly the village began to grow. In 1898, Thomas A. Edison found a valuable deposit of cement rock underlying the valley and built a large cement mill there. In 1925, this area established electric lights which led to the further settlement of New Village.
