Hughesville, New Jersey
Hughesville is an unincorporated community located along the border of Holland Township in Hunterdon County and Pohatcong Township in Warren County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The community is named after Hugh Hughes, a lawyer from Philadelphia, who built a forge here during the 18th century.
The Hughesville Dam on the Musconetcong River was removed in 2016 to allow American shad to spawn further upriver.
