Flagtown, New Jersey
Flagtown is an unincorporated community located within Hillsborough Township, in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States.
==History==
The area was originally called Flagtown Station when the Lehigh Valley Railroad came through, after the nearby Flagtown, which had been corrupted from Flaggtown.〔"Fanning's Illustrated Gazetteer of the United States". Heritage Books, 1990.〕〔Chamberlin, Thomas Chrowder, ed. "The Journal of Geology, Volume 5". University of Chicago Press, 1897〕 The original Flaggtown (later renamed Frankfurt when Flagtown Station became Flagtown) was named for Jacob Flagg, who purchased a tract in 1700. Some years later, J. Flagg, a descendant and proprietor of a local tavern had it used as headquarters for the Hillsborough Company in the American Revolutionary War. At election time, the tavern served as a voting place. The first school was built there about 1725 on a knoll near the future site of the railroad station and it is said that William Parrish taught there. When the building was replaced in 1795, it was painted red and white and called "The Old Red School House."
