The history of High Bridge is intertwined with the development of the iron and steel industry in the United States. As early as the 1700s; the framework of this little hamlet had already been created by English investors who carved up the rich wilderness of the New World; brimming with iron ore that would be essential to the county�s development. High Bridge Borough evolved around the Taylor Wharton Foundry; established in 1742. With the passage of time; however; High Bridge has lost its farming and foundry roots; evolving into what is often referred to as a bedroom community. Just like the lofty trestle from which High Bridge derived its name; the city now runs the risk of being lost to time; forsaking the resilient character of the immigrants who forged a nation. This book aims to preserve High Bridge�s glorious history for future generations.
