Stockton New Jersey is a charming little village in Western New Jersey on the Delaware River, minutes away from Bucks County and a few miles north of the trendy towns of New Hope and Lambertville.

Stockton NJ is one of the oldest communities in the entire region. In 1703, John Reading, an early founder of Hunterdon County, purchased a large tract of land that included what has become the Stockton NJ that we know today. In the 1790's, John Prall purchased land here and built several mills, a store and several stone houses. This mill, Prallsville Mill still stands today and is the sight of many special events, exhibitions and weddings.

Prallsville Mills

The Prallsville Mills have a history that dates back over 280 years. In about 1720, Daniel Howell built a grist mill on this site at the Wickeckeoke Creek and the Delaware River. In 1794 the property was sold to John Prall who added more mills to the site, stone houses and other buildings that contributed to the community becoming a commercial and trading center. In 1874, the grist mill burned down, but was rebuilt a few years later. This is the building that exists today on this beautiful site along the Delaware River and New Jersey's River Road, Route 29. Prallsville Mills is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The entire property became part of the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park in 1974.
