Welcome to the Deserted Village of Feltville/Glenside Park
This site is listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places due to its development in 1845 as Feltville, a self-su cient manufacturing town. While its most signi cant history relates to Feltville, the site has had multiple uses, beginning in the early 18th century as Peter’s Hill, an outlying Elizabethtown farmstead, to its present use as a historic site within the Union County Park System.
