History

The earliest inhabitants of the area were the Lenape Native Americans, who lived along the banks of the Musconetcong River. In 1700, a German immigrant named Johann Peter Walbach purchased a 250-acre farm, which spurred development in the area. By 1735, there were several dwellings around what is now Washington Borough.

Washington was located along the Morris Canal, a 19th century transportation artery connecting the Delaware River at Phillipsburg, New Jersey to Newark on the Hudson River. For a time, Washington was an important supply depot along the route of the canal. The canal has since been abandoned and much of the route has been transformed into the Columbia Trail.

By the mid 19th century, Washington had grown into a small hamlet surround by prosperous farms. Around this time, the town's economic activity diversified to include various manufacturing businesses such as slaughterhouses, tanneries, and a cigar factory. Washington was incorporated in 1868 from portions of Mansfield Township.
