History

The community is located along the Musconetcong River between Pohatcong Mountain and Musconetcong Mountain, about a mile east of the Delaware River in a section of the Musconetcong Valley called the Musconetcong Gorge. The settlement was named for Philip and John Fein (often misspelled Fine by locals) who settled in the area from Germany. They built a dam and ran an oil mill, gristmill, sawmill, hotel and a store.[7]

The area was first built up as a permanent settlement due to the construction of Chelsea Forge, built in 1751,[8] a charcoal-iron forge on the Musconetcong.[9] The forge helped to provide the Continental Army with weapons to defend Valley Forge. The Shank Brothers ran a ferry across the Delaware River from the point where the Musconetcong empties into it prior to 1800.[10] The Fein gristmill burned and was later rebuilt as the Riegel Paper Corporation's paper mill[11] and became the Taylor Stiles and Company knife factory.

Шаблон:Anchor The first Finesville Dam on the Musconetcong River was built around 1751 for an iron forge. The last one was a concrete dam built in 1952. This obsolete dam was removed in 2011 to restore migratory fish spawning and improve the river habitat.[12][13]
