BOROUGH OF HIGHTSTOWN 490-5100 Hightstown can best be described as the crossroads of Mercer County. This tiny parcel of farmland has evolved into a bustling center of activity. A major factor behind this rapid modernization is the township's prime location near major access roads like the New jersey Turnpike, Route 130, and Route 33. Industry is attracted to the potential for easy delivery of goods while commuters find that the complex infrastructure facilitates the commute to work. Despite its rapid growth during the last few decades, Hightstown has managed to maintain its small town aura. Area: 1.2 Pop: 4,974 Avg.
