Lambertville is a city in Hunterdon County, located in west-central New Jersey between the Raritan Valley and the Delaware River. The city sits on the Delaware River opposite New Hope, Pennsylvania, and is known for its historic streets, arts-oriented businesses, and compact riverfront setting. Hunterdon County is shaped by rolling farmland, wooded ridges, river valleys, reservoirs, small boroughs, and historic villages spread across a largely rural landscape. The county is known for preserved land, farms, outdoor recreation, historic centers, and a mix of residential, institutional, and small-business activity. Interstate 78, Routes 31 and 202, and a network of county roads connect local communities with Flemington, Clinton, the Lehigh Valley, and central New Jersey. That setting gives Lambertville a recognizable local character while keeping it closely tied to surrounding municipalities.
