The county seat of Flemington Borough is the heart of government, law, and commerce in Hunterdon County. The Greek Revival courthouse gained international attention in the 1930s Lindbergh infant kidnapping and murder trial. Known as a trading center since the mid 1700s, Flemington maintains a strong commercial economic base. In conjunction with surrounding Raritan Township, it has emerged as a popular discount and specialty shopping district renowned for its factory outlets. The borough preserves its small-town charm in many vintage structures.
