SandBrook is located in Delaware Township,
Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The village is located at the intersection of County
Road 523 (Sergeantsville Road) and SandBrook-Headquarters Road about 5 1/2
miles easterly of Stockton.
It began it's existence in 1739 with a mill
run by Henry Kitchen and his son Samuel Kitchen. Early records identify the
place as "Kitchen's Mill."
In the Minute Book entry March 10, 1789, a
road to be maintained by the Overseers of the Roads ended at the road leading
from Tinkers Lane to SandBrook. In 1873-1881 the village contained a post
office, Baptist Church, School - District 93, a store, a blacksmith shop, a
gristmill and about 10 homes.
In 1881 the teacher at the school was Joseph
S. Fauss. The store was kept by Charles W. Moore and behind it was a grist mill
run by water power. In 1880 it is recorded that the mill was run by Hiram
Moore. There was a blacksmith and wagon shop operated by George F. Green and
Joseph H. Crum respectively. John A. Moore was the Postmaster at that time.
SandBrook was named for the brook that fed
the mill, a tributary of the Third Neshanic River.
