Lambertville has roots that go back to before the War of Independence. At the time, part of a settlement known as Coryell’s Ferry, Lambertville was the stopping point midway on the two-day trip from New York to Philadelphia. During the war, General George Washington also camped at Holcombe House in Lambertville prior to the Battle of Monmouth. The New Jersey segment of Coryell’s Ferry split into Lambertville with the opening of a post office in 1810, and the city became home to several prominent manufacturing companies, including the Lambertville Rubber Company, during the industrial revolution.
Nowadays, Lambertville is known as the antique capital of New Jersey, and it has vintage halls, boutiques and famous flea markets to back up that claim in spades.
