This is the official municipal site for the Borough of Allentown.
The Borough of Allentown is a small, but scenic and historic village located in central New Jersey. We are located around the Mill Pond and along Doctor's Creek and Indian Run (believed to be part of "Underground Railroad"). We are an idyllic town with one of New Jersey's most charming and walkable Main Streets complete with restaurants, unique shops, a spa, salons, medical offices, historic homes, a public library that is located in a former church, and our Borough Hall.
We are a historic community with a total of 220 homes and buildings that date pre- 1860. We have tranquil parks for fishing, water sports, walking, hiking and more. We are residents that value artists, gardening, religion and education boasting one of the best school districts (the Upper Freehold Regional School District) in New Jersey. We are a diverse community made up of single-family homes, duplexes, apartments, and local businesses.
Located in beautiful Monmouth County, the Borough of Allentown is conveniently located near the New Jersey Turnpike, Interstate 195, and County Routes 539, 526, and 524.
