Hackettstown was incorporated as a town on March 9, 1853, from portions of Independence Township. Portions of territory were exchanged with Mansfield Township in 1857, 1860, 1872 and 1875.

Hackettstown houses the headquarters of Mars Chocolate USA, the American division of Mars, Incorporated.

It is believed that Hackettstown was named after Samuel Hackett, an early settler. Hackett is said to have "contributed liberally to the liquid refreshments on the christening of a new hotel, in order to secure the name which, before this, had been Helms' Mills or Musconetcong".
