The Rocky Hill Historic District encompasses the historic core of Rocky Hill, New Jersey along Washington St., Montgomery, Princeton, and Crescent Aves. The village is approximately one square mile and traces its beginnings to the 18th century, when George Washington stayed at Rockingham, and its major growth period to the second quarter of the 19th century. The district encompasses 145 buildings, only 12 of which are non-contributing, and has sustained its historic character without the intrusion of modern structures or parking lots. The most notable landmark in the village is First Reformed Church, built in 1856 in the Carpenter Gothic style.
