The appeal
of small town Helmetta ranked the Boro as one of the top 100 towns to live in, in the state of NJ!
(NJ Monthly Magazine)
The George W. Helme Snuff Mill District was a fine example of a late 1800's mill town. The district comprises the
George W. Helme snuff mill (which ceased manufacturing in 1993); housing for workers, middle-level managers, and the owners,
accessory buildings such as the company store, St. George Episcopal Church, and Holy Trinity R.C. Church; and Helmetta Pond,
once a source of power for the mill. About 115 buildings were originally in the district, which was named to the state Register
of Historic Places on February 1, 1980, and to the National Register of Historic Places on August 15, 1980.
