Centerville was a hamlet within Readington Township in Hunterdon County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The community was located along Campbell's Brook (now Pleasant Run) and Old York Road. Centerville grew up. Because of a tavern that marked the halfway point on the long Swift Sure Stage Line route from New York——to Philadelphia. The hamlet had a school, a store, a post office, a church. And blacksmith. When the railroads and "newer roads were built," Centerville saw few visitors and today all the "buildings there are residences."
