Geocache Description:

Medium size Lock-n-Lock container. See parking coordinates.

High Bridge was named for a 1,300 foot long, 112 foot high bridge built by the Central Railroad Company across the South Branch of the Raritan River. It was too costly to maintain and was subsequently filled in with an earthen embankment, leaving a double-arch culvert by which the river and Arch Street passes through. Construction of the embankment began in 1859 and took five years to complete. The cache is hidden on the side of this embankment.

The following link takes you to a short history of the town, which was originally settled around 1700 and who’s iron and then steel foundry and associated mining operations played a vital role in its history. (visit link)
