American
Historic Small-Town Itineraries
Phillipsburg
is a
historic town with a growing base of small and mid-size businesses thirty
minutes from the Pocono Mountains, and midway between Philadelphia and New York
City.
Located on the
Delaware River, in a beautiful setting of rolling hills, woodlands, and flowing
waters, this town offers the best of all worlds in a close-knit community of
families and friends, as you enjoy all the advantages of urban living as well
as rural atmosphere and a quaint downtown waterfront shopping district.
A sister
city to
industrial Easton, across the Delaware River on the border with Pennsylvania,
Phillipsburg is considered part of the Delaware Valley region and the eastern
border of the Lehigh Valley. The Norfolk Southern Railway Lehigh Line runs
through Phillipsburg on its way to cross the river to Easton. The Belvidere
Delaware Railroad was leased and later acquired by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
connecting the lower Poconos to Trenton and Philadelphia.
