Flemington Junction is an unincorporated community located within Raritan Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States.[2] The area is located approximately one and a half miles (2.4 km) northeast of downtown Flemington and was the site of the junction of the Lehigh Valley Railroad's Flemington Branch and Mainline (now part of Norfolk Southern's Lehigh Line). The Flemington Junction station was listed as part of the Raritan–Readington South Branch Historic District in 1990.[3] Today, the Flemington Spur tracks have been removed but numerous industries and commercial businesses are located in the vicinity of the crossing. In addition to the Norfolk Southern rail line, County Route 523 (River Road) passes through the area.[4]
