Frenchtown takes its name from the many French families that followed Paul Henri Mallet-Prevost, a Swiss refugee from the French Revolution who moved here in 1794. The town is located along the banks of the Delaware River in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, across from Bucks County, Pennsylvania and bordering Alexandria and Kingwood Townships, just south of Milford. Frenchtown is a principal destination for river activities, as well as shopping, dining and a return to simpler times. Most of the borough’s residential and commercial activity lies close to the river. The size of the community is 1.3 square miles. 2010 census figures put the Frenchtown’s population at 1,473, not much more than it was in 1930, when 1,139 people were said to live here.
