Frenchtown
was incorporated as a Borough in 1867. A unique and picturesque
little town on the eastern bank of the Delaware River. The beginning
of Frenchtown as a village is with the advent of Thomas Lowery,
who came from Flemington in 1785 and built a grist mill near
the river, also a saw mill. He erected a dwelling near the corner
of the road, now known as the intersection of Race and Bridge
Streets. The first store in the village was a little low story-an-a-half
structure aroung 1820.
