About Hackettstown

Hackettstown is a Warren County town in a valley along the Musconetcong River. It has more going on than its size suggests: Centenary University is in town, and Mars, Inc. has its U.S. headquarters here, giving Hackettstown a sweet bit of corporate trivia as well as a college presence. William Johnson helped push the town's incorporation in 1853. Hackettstown feels like a northwest New Jersey river town with brick storefronts, students, commuters, and a foothills setting beyond the denser suburbs.
