Sergeantsville, New Jersey

Sergeantsville (pronounced "SIR-jints-vil"[3]) is a historic unincorporated community located within Delaware Township, in Hunterdon County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.

[4] Sergeantsville was first settled by a Mr. Thatcher in 1700, and was later named for Charles Sergeant, an American Revolutionary War soldier, in honor of the Sergeant family of which three brothers were local shopkeepers.

Until that time, this largely rural area was known as "Skunktown", perhaps because the town served as a market center for skunk pelts.

[6] Sergeantsville's annual "Thanksgiving in the Country" house tour, established in 1973, takes four or five different homes each year, that have historical, architectural or cultural qualities.
