Readington Township occupies a broad area of eastern Hunterdon County and is the county's largest municipality by land area. Its landscape includes farms, preserved open space, wooded ridges, residential neighborhoods, business properties, and several historic villages. Whitehouse Station serves as the principal population and transportation center, while Readington Village, Stanton, Three Bridges, and other communities retain distinct local identities. U.S. Routes 22 and 202, Interstate 78, and a network of county roads connect the township with Bridgewater, Flemington, Clinton, and the wider region. NJ Transit service from Whitehouse Station provides rail access along the Raritan Valley Line. The township's development pattern remains less dense than neighboring Somerset County, with large agricultural tracts and conservation lands separating residential and commercial areas. Readington's combination of rural scenery, transportation access, historic settlements, and modern employment centers gives it an important role between central New Jersey's suburban corridor and the more rural western part of Hunterdon County.
