Hughesville is an unincorporated community located along the border of Holland Township in Hunterdon County and Pohatcong Township in Warren County, New Jersey, United States.[2] The community is named after Hugh Hughes, a lawyer from Philadelphia, who built a forge here during the 18th century.[3]

The Hughesville Dam on the Musconetcong River was removed in 2016 to allow American shad to spawn further upriver.[4]
