}}Changewater is an unincorporated community located within Washington Township, in Warren County, New Jersey, United States.[2]

Changewater is located on the Musconetcong River {{convert|2.3|mi|km}} southeast of Washington. The community was named for its location at the confluence of the upper and lower branches of the river.[3]

Changewater has a post office with ZIP code 07831, which opened on September 26, 1859.[4][5]

History

One of the early iron furnaces in the county—known as the Changewater Forge—was established here in the mid-1700s by Mark Thomson.[3]

In 1843, members of a local family—the Castner's—were murdered during an apparent robbery. The crime attracted widespread publicity, and in 1845, two men were convicted and hanged at the Warren County Court House.[3][6]

During the 1800s, a number of industries were attempted in Changewater, including a tannery, woolen factory, flouring mill, picture frame factory, snuff factory, and distillery.[3]

In 1874, the village consisted of a looking glass and picture framing factory, a store and post office, a grist mill, and eight residences.[3]

By 1918, Changewater had a population of 200, and the A. T. Skerry woolen mill was its only industry.[3]
