Stanton is an unincorporated community in Readington Township, set within the rolling farmland and wooded countryside of eastern Hunterdon County. The area developed as a rural settlement along local roads connecting farms, mills, churches, and neighboring villages. Today, the Stanton name is used for a mix of older homes, newer residences, agricultural properties, and community destinations spread across a low-density landscape. County roads provide access toward Whitehouse Station, Flemington, Clinton Township, and the Route 22 and Interstate 78 corridors. Stanton does not have a separate municipal government; residents use Readington Township schools, public facilities, and local services. Open fields, stream valleys, and preserved land continue to shape the community's appearance, even as residential development has expanded in the surrounding area. Its quiet setting and long-standing village identity distinguish Stanton from the more active commercial and transportation center around Whitehouse Station.
