Warren County, New Jersey
Warren County · Belvidere · a Water Gap seat still hires a county · not Ohio
Belvidere is the seat. Phillipsburg is the large town, not the hall.
Warren is a western New Jersey county on the Delaware River, created 1824 from Sussex. Belvidere is the seat. It is a small town. It is not the capital. Trenton is the capital of New Jersey and sits in Mercer. Phillipsburg is the large town. It is not the county hall. Hackettstown is this map. It is not the hall.
This is not Warren County, Ohio. This is not Warren County, Pennsylvania. This is not Warren County, Virginia. Staff who paste a Lebanon, Ohio, courthouse onto Second Street are on the wrong state.
Twenty-two municipalities include Belvidere, Phillipsburg, Hackettstown, Washington Borough, Washington Township, Blairstown, Allamuchy, Lopatcong, Pohatcong, Harmony, Hope, Knowlton, Hardwick, White, and the rest. Flemington is Hunterdon. Morristown is Morris. Newton is Sussex. Northampton County, Pennsylvania, is west across the river. Trenton is Mercer.
This page is Side One for the place. The Sheriff’s job — Second Street court security, process, and a jail this badge does not run — is taught at Office of the Sheriff — Warren County.
Three Commissioners. The smallest board in New Jersey.
Warren is governed by a Board of County Commissioners of three, elected at-large on a stagger. That is the smallest county board in the state. An appointed administrator runs departments from the Wayne Dumont, Jr. Administration Building, 165 County Road 519 South, Belvidere. There is no County Executive. That is not Union’s nine. That is not Somerset’s five. That is not Mercer’s Executive.
The Sheriff is a constitutional officer, three years, Article VII, Section II, paragraph 2. The board does not hire this badge. Last regular sheriff general was Tuesday, 4 November 2025. Next regular is Tuesday, 7 November 2028. Tuesday, 3 November 2026 is not this oval. Mercer — the capital — is 2026. Union is 2026. Hunterdon, already live, waits until 2028 with this county. The Governor is 2029.
Delaware Water Gap and I-80, not Warren, Ohio
The Delaware River, the Delaware Water Gap, the Pohatcong and Jenny Jump ridges, and I-80 are this land. Route 46, Route 31, and County Road 519 are this pavement. The Warren County Courthouse lists at 413 Second Street, Belvidere. No Ohio river town as this shire. No Virginia mountain as this Gap. Staff who paste a Phillipsburg mill skyline onto Second Street as the county hall are on the wrong municipality.
How a Belvidere public actually files a paper
Each of the twenty-two municipalities has a site. Phillipsburg’s site does not speak for Hardwick. The Sheriff’s listing speaks for court, process, warrants, and transport. The Warren County Correctional Center at 175 County Road 519 South, White Township, is Department of Corrections — a Warden, under the Board of County Commissioners, not this Sheriff. Confirm the live county listing. The County Clerk sits at 413 Second Street. Do not send a Blairstown family to Trenton for a county paper. Do not send them to Warren, Ohio, for a New Jersey writ.
413 Second Street is court. 175 County Road 519 is a Warden.
Crime in Belvidere is often Belvidere Police. Crime in Phillipsburg is often Phillipsburg Police. New Jersey State Police is the state — Hope and Washington barracks sit on this map. Civil process, Superior Court security at 413 Second Street, sheriff sales, and fugitive work are this Sheriff. Jail as a local house is Corrections in White Township, not this badge. Rights do not change at the Hardwick line. Remedy for town police is the Town. Remedy for a Sheriff’s paper is the Sheriff. Relief when the Delaware floods Phillipsburg is this count first.
A student who does not treat Phillipsburg as the hall
A student uses town pages, the county jobs board, or the Sheriff’s official listing at 413 Second Street. The 1825 courthouse is a landmark. It is not the whole job. Outreach that only knows one Gap postcard is not doing Hardwick or Frelinghuysen.
