Over Fox Brook

Harlingen Village grew up around the Reformed Church beginning in the 1750s. It evolved into Montgomery Township's chief religious, civic, and business center. Harlingen Road, the village's main street, crossed Fox Brook in the Village as early as 1811. In July 1890, the County hired the New Jersey Steel and Iron Company to replace the Harlingen Road Bridge. They used steel stringers on existing stone abutments and added sidewalks with four decorative railings made from iron newel posts and angled straps. The bridge opened in October 1890 and cost $853. In 2006 Somerset County replaced the Harlingen Road Bridge using the rehabilitated decorative railings from the 1890 bridge.
