This page will eventually contain information about the history and people of Hampton Gate...currently it is under construction.
The book Place Names in Burlington County, New Jersey by Henry H. Bisbee (Burlington Co. Publishing, Riverside NJ, 1955) says this about Hampton Gate, on page 50:
| "Hampton Gate":A small settlement in Tabernacle on its western border near the upper reaches of Batsto River. In 1849, J.Smith ran a hotel at this place. The name is conjectural, possibly "a way leading to Hampton" or probably something to do with control of the water flow on the creek as the stream flowed into Hampton |
