Rocky Hill, New Jersey is a very old village. Located as its name suggests on a stone ledge, it was part of the lands belonging to the Unami, or "people down the river," tribe of the Lenni Lenape Indians.

In 1701, John Harrison was employed by the Governor and the Proprietors of East Jersey to take over title of all Indian lands in the province. In a deed obtained from Nowenock, the Indian chief, dated June 24, 1717, he is called "John Harrison of Rockie Hill." He owned many areas of land, and started the first grist mills on the Millstone River. He served as a member of the Assembly from Somerset County, 1703 and 1707.

Rocky Hill is the site of several of John Hart's mills. There, located along the Millstone River, the old grist mill can still be seen. John Hart, the most neglected Declaration of Independent signer, lived in Hopewell, but owned lands and several mills around Rocky Hill. This once wealthy farmer and landowner was left penniless by his generosity to the Colonial cause and also by British raids on his holdings. He died in 1779 of the privations of "hiding out" in the rocky caves of the Sourland mountains because of constant British harassment.

Rocky Hill was a recognized community at the time of the Revolution and its few inhabitants were active in the cause of the Colonies. Although it was not the scene of a major battle, its terrain was well known to General George Washington. On January 3, 1776, he and the Army passed through Rocky Hill on their way to the bitter winter encampment in Morristown. After victorious battles at Trenton and Princeton, the General had planned to dash on to New Brunswick to capture British supplies there. At Kingston, they held a hurried council on horseback, and decided that the men were too tired from days and nights of fighting and marching. They took a side road to Rocky Hill, after destroying the bridge over the Millstone River. Before midnight the last of the Army had passed through Rocky Hill. They put the prisoners in the county jail at Somerset Court House (now Millstone), and slept on the frozen ground of surrounding fields. The following day the passed Pluckemin and went on to Morristown.

In 1778 on his way to the decisive battle of Monmouth, the last full scale encounter with the British in New Jersey, Washington and the Army marched through Rocky Hill. They left Valley Forge, and crossed the Delaware River at Coryell's Ferry (now Lambertville). On June 22, in record heat, they proceeded through Hopewell, Rocky Hill, and Kingston to meet the royal armies at Monmouth Court House (now Freehold).

Rocky Hill is famed most for Washington's prolonged stay in 1783. When Congress met in Princeton, they wanted him nearby to get his "assistance and advice in the arrangements for peace." They rented Rockingham for his (Washington's) use, it was one of Rocky Hill's farm "mansions." Situated just across the Millstone River, its balcony afforded a fine view of the village and surrounding hills.

Here General Washington lived from August 23 to November 10, 1783, with his aides and a suite of young New England yeoman's sons, who pitched their tents in the farmyard. Martha Washington accompanied her husband and remained here until October when she left for Mount Vernon "before the weather and roads should get bad.

In October, Congress concluded its business. News of the signing of the Peace Treaty in Paris arrived. Washington prepared his Farewell Address to the Armies of the United States, and legend says he read it to his attending soldiers from the balcony of Rockingham. It was published in the Philadelphia papers on the 2nd of November. On November 10th, General Washington left Rocky Hill.

Rocky Hill was long a part of Montgomery Township, which was incorporated at a meeting in March 1772 at the home of Williams Jones at "Rocke Hill."

It is a small borough, less than one square mile. The population has held remarkably steady through the 1900's. In the first decade, the population stayed around 500. It rose to 600 before World Word I when the Terra Cotta works was at its peak. It feel below 300 in 1927 and stayed there during the depression years. It returned to 500 in the 1940's and stayed there until the housing development of Princeton Ridge, added 200 in 1962-63. The population from the last census totaled 662.

Panicaro who was killed in World War II. The Fireman's Carnival Grounds, located on Crescent Avenue are owned and maintained by the firemen.
