Finesville is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP)[9] located within Pohatcong Township in Warren County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[10] The CDP was defined as part of the 2010 United States Census.[11][12][13] As of the 2010 Census, the CDP's population was 175.[14]

History

Former woolen mill by the remains of the Finesville Dam

The community is located along the Musconetcong River between Pohatcong Mountain and Musconetcong Mountain, about a mile east of the Delaware River in a section of the Musconetcong Valley called the Musconetcong Gorge. The settlement was named for Philip and John Fein (often misspelled Fine by locals) who settled in the area from Germany. They built a dam and ran an oil mill, gristmill, sawmill, hotel and a store.[15]

The area was first built up as a permanent settlement due to the construction of Chelsea Forge, built in 1751,[16] a charcoal-iron forge on the Musconetcong.[17] The forge helped to provide the Continental Army with weapons to defend Valley Forge. The Shank Brothers ran a ferry across the Delaware River from the point where the Musconetcong empties into it prior to 1800.[18] The Fein gristmill burned and was later rebuilt as the Riegel Paper Corporation's paper mill[19] and became the Taylor Stiles and Company knife factory.

The first Finesville Dam on the Musconetcong River was built around 1751 for an iron forge. The last one was a concrete dam built in 1952. This obsolete dam was removed in 2011 to restore migratory fish spawning and improve the river habitat.[20][21]

Transportation

Mount Joy Road Bridge crossing the Musconetcong River

The Mount Joy Road Bridge crosses the Musconetcong River and connects Pohatcong and Holland Townships. This Pratt truss bridge, a contributing structure of the historic district, was built c. 1890 and is the only known example made by G. M. Russling of Hackettstown.[25] County Route 627 (Riegelsville-Warren Glen Road) runs northeast-southwest through the community and intersects with Mountain and Mount Joy Roads.[31]

Points of interest
