In 1753, when Sussex County was formed, the area of present-day Hamburg was part of New Town; on February 25, 1762, it became part of the newly established Hardyston Township. On April 8, 1793, when Vernon Township was formed from Hardyston, Hamburg was included within the boundaries of Vernon. In 1852, the boundary line was changed so that Hamburg was again in Hardyston Township. Hamburg was incorporated as a borough on March 19, 1920, from portions of Hardyston Township.

Joseph Sharp's Iron Works
Gingerbread Castle Rd
Hamburg, NJ 07419

(Photo by Mary Ellen Coghlan, courtesy of HMdb.org)

In 1768, Joseph Sharp erected a forge and furnace on the
Wallkill River. The village around the Sharp Iron Works
became known as Sharpsborough, later becoming Hamburg.
Due to the expensive nature of the venture and competing
forges, Sharp abandoned the property in 1774. Stephen Ford
used it to secretly produce cannonballs for the British during
the American Revolution. After reclaiming the property,
Joseph Sharp Jr. built the stone grist mill in 1808.
Sharp's mill provided the flour for the American troops of the
War of 1812. The mill continued to serve the needs of the
agricultural community of Sussex County.
