Skillman is a postal community within Montgomery Township in southern Somerset County. The name is widely used for residential neighborhoods, schools, professional offices, and public facilities across the central and western parts of the township. Skillman Park, created on the grounds of a former state institution, provides trails, fields, open lawns, and recreation space near the municipal complex. Local roads connect the community with Belle Mead, Blawenburg, Harlingen, Princeton, and the Route 206 corridor. The surrounding landscape includes newer subdivisions, historic homes, farms, preserved land, and wooded sections leading toward the Sourland Mountain region. Skillman is not separately incorporated, so local government and school services are provided by Montgomery Township. The area’s development reflects the township’s broader shift from agriculture to suburban residential use, while open-space programs have retained significant green areas. Its proximity to Princeton and central New Jersey employment centers contributes to Skillman’s role as one of Montgomery Township’s best-known community names.
