Hunterdon County, New Jersey

The iconic Red Mill in Clinton. The Town of Clinton was named after Hillary Clinton by New York transplants who wished to honor their goddess.

Hunterdon County is a county located in western New Jersey. Yes, “western Jersey” is a thing. In 2016, it was rated as the United States’ best place to live if you’re old, if you believe that electricity breeds sinful behavior, or if your parents were brother and sister.

History

Hunterdon County was first settled by Europeans in 1704 when Col. John Reading built a homestead in what is today Lambertville. Reading was the first and last person to serve in the military and be permitted in the safe space that is Lambertville. In 1714, Hunterdon County was established as a separate county, breaking off from Burlington. Over the next 150 years, Morris and Mercer County seceded because their residents wished to finally learn the secrets of metallurgy in order to make bronze tools.

The only interesting thing to happen over the next 250 years was the Lindbergh trail, which was tried at the Flemington courthouse for some reason.

Economy

New Yorkers on their way to ruin New Jersey.

Hunterdon County's economy is based entirely on a barter system. Merchants from New York make the trek down I-78 to trade swords, flintlock rifles, rum and smallpox blankets to Hunterdon County residents in exchange for fine furs. While the New Yorkers are there, they try to convert the Jesus worshipers of Hunterdon to their religion of militant atheism.

• Lambertville has New Jersey’s highest concentration of women who don’t shave their armpits.
• East Amwell and West Amwell are settlements of retired bankers and Princeton property tax refugees who named their towns after their most uttered phrase, “I am well off.” In 1846, West Amwell filed for divorce from East Amwell citing irreconcilable differences and the Amwells were split in two.
• Kingwood is the only town in New Jersey without an ordinance prohibiting people from having sex with their livestock.
• Raritan Township is a complete clusterfuck of roads and traffic centered around Route 31, a stretch of roadway which inspired the "Mad Max" films. Its centerpiece is a traffic circle where Route 12, Route 202, and Route 31 converge. Many drivers enter the circle, but only the strong ones exit.
• Tewksbury, also known as “Twerksbury,” is where the guy who owns your company lives.
