This absolutely charming village is unique in that, for all intents and purposes, it is an island. One narrow street in width and roughly a mile long, it has three bridge entrances… north, middle, and south… which span the Delaware & Raritan Canal running along its east length. And on the west is the large expanse and sweeping views of the Delaware River.
Its early history is lost in time. No documentary evidence of native American activity here although, with direct access to both the river and creeks in the area, there surely must have been. The only remaining physical evidence is that there was a cove adjacent to the north bridge that, according to legend, was a safe haven and distribution point for the logging and other trade that took place on the river. The Indians surely must have used this cove also.
The first European settlers came in the later 1700s. Records from 1779 show John Titus owning 293 acres in the northeast quadrant of the future village that would bear his name. The second owner of note was John Knowles who would own the land south of Titus and whose family would contribute to the early evolution of the village.
The north end of the village developed in the early 1830s with the building of the Delaware & Raritan Canal. It expanded southward in the 1850s when the Belvidere-Delaware Railroad was built parallel to the canal. As the century progressed, shops of various sorts sprang up along the river side of the road to meet the needs of the people there.
Those were busy, productive times for the expanding village. That activity slowed in the latter part of the 1800s, and with the Great Depression in the early 1900s the village came to a standstill, not to be revived until later in the century when prosperity returned in the form of part-time residents wanting vacation and retirement homes. Its residents have changed over time, but its charm and history have remained.

Titus land? [ck]
Titus land may have extended on the other side of the creek? It also may have extended north of Fiddler's Creek Rd?

Titus-Chambers Farmstead [later Will-Gorland]
The farmstead was probably established c. mid-18thC. The oldest part of the existing stone farmhouse was said to be constructured by Uriel Titus early in the 19thC.
Records from 1779, referring to the Pennington to Bellemount Ferry Road [probably Fiddlers's Creek Rd], cite the Titus homestead and farm of 293 acres. By 1802, a large log basin and jetty were located at the mouth of Fiddler's Creek. There was a saw mill here. Remaining evidence of the mill pond and dam are south of the gas station on Rt. 29.
ownership:
Joseph Titus [1727-1797 ck]
Uriel Titus - son [1757-1834]
John Titus - son of Uriel

Washington Crossing State Park

Roads, Ferries & Bridges
Roads developed as indicated below. There were ferries at what became Washington's Crossing and at Bellemont Plantation [Pleasant Valley Rd].
The bridges apparently were originally stone ones which, when the canal was built, were reconstructed as swing bridges for the passing of the boats. These were then converted to truss bridges when the canal became no longer operational.

Fiddlers Creek Rd. - c.1750

[upper] Church Rd. - c.1750

[lower] Church Road - c.1810
This road started as a path from the Levi Knowles store. It was more formally laid out in 1831. It is shown in its entirety in the first Mercer County map of 1849.

"public road" [now River Drive] - 1819
In 1819 Levi Knowles petitioned Hunterdon county for permission to open a public road along the riverbank from a sawmill on the Titus land to Tomlinson's Ferry. This road is present-day River Drive.

Old River Rd north/Route 29 - c.1870
This part of the road orginially developed as a lane built from the mills to connect with Church Rd. The section from Church Rd to the north bridge was built c.1870. Until then this was only a tow path, so traffic travelled through the village.

Old River Rd south/Route 29 - 1917
The section from Church Rd to Washington's Crossing was completed in 1917.

Tomlinson's Ferry
Later name for Johnson's Ferry. See sequence below:
Rutger Jansen/Johnson > son Garret Johnson [c.1740-1770]
Hervey/Harvey [1786-1801] May have just rented?
Taylor [1828-34] Owned PA side of river.

Lower Bellemont Ferry
At the terminus of Pleasant Valley Rd on the Bellemont Plantation. There was also an Upper Bellemont Ferry. Both of these were in use in the later 18thC.

Upper Bellemont Ferry
At the terminus of Valley Rd. In existence for a short time during the Revolutionary War.

[main/original] Church Rd Bridge
First a wooden structure that was a swing bridge to allow canal passage.

center bridgetender's house site
[gone]
The Delaware and Raritan Canal house at the intersection of Church Road and the canal swing bridge was located at the southeast corner of the road adjacent to the canal and directly east across the canal from the Titusville Train Station.
It was a modest two-story house consisting of two floors of single-room depth and multiple rooms in width. The bridgetender lived there with his family as part of the terms of employment.

Belvidere & Delaware Railroad

Railroad Station & Warehouse
In 1851, the Belvidere-Delaware Railroad opened to Titusville and a station was built in the town. The station was located immediately behind the Delaware House with approximately twenty feet between the two buildings and adjacent to the railroad tracks facing the canal. The warehouse was diagonally across Church Rd from the station.
Passenger service ceased at Titusville in April 1952, but passenger trains to other towns continued operating until October 1960. Freight continued to run on this portion of the line until 1976. Tracks were subsequently removed for the Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park recreational trail in the early 1980s.

Village
The core of the early village from the early 1800s was north of Church Rd.
In the later 1800s the village was extended southward along River Drive.

Levi Knowles House - c.1816-19?
Sources cite various dates for this house, from c.1800 to 1820 to c.1830.

1834 - Joseph Titus [son]

Levi Knowles store
c. 1816-19 - In an 1819 petition to open a public road, a map indicating the road also refers to a store on the riverbank belonging to Levi Knowles, with a lane running inland from the river which corresponds to present-day Church Rd.

Delaware House [formerly the Delaware Hotel]
Original section built c.1820 as a store. Three-story brick expansion in 1843.
Brick addition converted to a hotel in 1855-56.
Ownership history:
Peter Van Cleef [Hoff & Nevins?]
Benjamin [Burros] Burroughs
[?others here? - Hoppock Brothers]
1923 - Lester Shellenberger
2004 - Deborah Shellenberger & Rancy Niederer
The Delaware Hotel [a.k.a. “Delaware House”] was purchased in 1923 by Lester Shellenberger to operate the general store, occupying the smaller two-story front structure built in 1820 by Peter A. Van Cleef for that purpose.
The completion of the Delaware and Raritan Feeder Canal in 1834 brought more commercial trade to Titusville requiring expansion of Van Cleef’s store in 1843, when the three-story attached brick building was erected to handle the increased commercial business. In 1855-56, Benjamin Burroughs converted the brick addition to serve as hotel for the growing river, canal and railroad travelers. The Belvidere Delaware Railroad built in 1851 had the greatest impact on the building’s use because the Titusville Railroad Station was located immediately adjacent to the hotel on the east side of the building.
The hotel rooms were located on the second floor and four large dormitory rooms were on the third floor. The first floor contained a sitting room, saloon and dining room which were all connected by a central hallway leading to the main porches on the north and south sides of the hotel. A grand stairway led from the center of the hallway to the floors above. The kitchen was located in a lean-to addition on the west end of the dining room and once contained a large walk-in fireplace for cooking.
Lester Shellenberger and his family ran the front grocery story from 1923-1949, when it was closed and converted into two apartments occupying the first and second floors. The federal government rented two large rooms on the east end of the first floor next to the railroad station to house the Titusville Post Office from 1941-1976 before it moved to Route 29.
Ownership transferred to Deborah (Shellenberger) and Randy Niederer by inheritance and purchase in 2004. The building was renovated and restored to its present condition and now contains five apartments.

Post Office - 1833
Originally building no longer standing.
Subsequently, it has occupied: a drygoods store on Church Rd (now gone), a store & wheelwright shop on River Drive, a one-story frame building formerly just south of the cemetery, the Delaware Hotel, and a structure on Route 29.

Sargeant's Tavern - c. 1835
Built by Joseph Titus "for the accommodation of boat men near Titus' Cove". Later known as Titusville House, it remained in operation into the 1860s.
Joseph Titus - built the structure & rented it to Sargeant
1846 - John Sargeant [first a tenant, then the owner]

Churches & Cemeteries

Methodist Church
Burned [date?]
According to the Warren Schmidt documents:
"In the latter part of the 1700’s and early part of the 1800’s (before 1825), the Crossroads at Church Corner was, in reality, the center of activity of the surrounding country, which was a farm section community; the main attractions being the Delaware River Methodist Episcopal Church, it’s burying ground and the 8-square schoolhouse. Roads centering at the Crossroads (or Church Corner as it was also known), were the Church Road leading from Titusville, the Brick Yard Road leading from the River Road to Lambertville, the New Road leading to the Bear Tavern and Scotch Road to Trenton and the continuation of Church Road to Honey Hollow, to Harbourton and to Pennington. Titusville in this period was of small importance and was only visited on business transactions with the only store/warehouse in the community.
The River Church at the Old Church Corner (Crossroads) was built of native red shale stone. When the Church was abandoned it was torn down and the stone hauled to the site of the present ME Church at Titusville and used in its foundation and basement construction."

"The corner stone in the present Titusville ME Church is from, and was the corner stone of the Old River Church. It was removed and placed on top of the foundation wall, under the sill of the upper main room on the west corner. There was placed a metal box under this stone, which contains some history and other articles, placed therein by the members of the old Church in loving memory, at the time the stone was laid.”

Schools

First school [locate exactly]
The first Titusville Presbyterian School House was commissioned by an act of Session on April 15, 1849 and built that year. The land, at the northeast corner of Route 29 and Church Road, was given by Joseph Titus. Reverend Van Artsdalen directed the school. The school left this location in 1856.

Second school
A new Titusville Presbyterian School House built in 1857-1858 replaced the first building. The location was on the eastside of River Drive on the south side of the ravine in the lower Titusville Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Joseph Titus bequeathed this land and gave $1,000 to support education. The school operated until the turn of the 20th Century and was torn down.

Titusville Academy
Titusville Public School District #13, established in 1871 by the State Legislature, was an “Act to make free Public School mandatory elementary education and funding.”
Originally built in 1892, it expanded many times. The present large brick addition was completed in 1922. J. Osborne Hunt, a well-known Trenton Architect, designed it. The current owners purchased the property in 1988 after the school closed in mid-1970. It is presently known as The Titusville Academy.

The Cove
A stone manmade jetty built with large river and field stones on the Titusville side of the Delaware River just a few hundred feet south of the North Canal Bridge. This stone structure created a backwater area (cove) of still water along the shoreline.
Oral history says it was built by the Indians as a fishing weir to funnel fish in a concentrate area to catch. Since there is no corresponding weir on the opposite bank, it seems impossible. The other legend is that it was built in the early 1800’s by the early Pennsylvania timber cutters to tie-up their log rafts during overnight stays at Sergeant’s Tavern or the River House in the village.
Recent floods in 1955, 2005 and 2006 have relocated many of the rocks.

Sand Gully Fishery [?at cove?]
The Titus family eventually acquired an interest in this and other fishing grounds to the north.

Brick Manufacturing Co. - c.1850?
Joseph Titus Jr. - Gave bricks to build church.

Rubber Mill - c.1911
George Agnew purchased the Titus mills on Fiddler's Creek in 1870. After a fire that consumed the grist & saw mills, he turned the plant into a rubber mill. That mill burned in 1897, but was immediately rebuilt. It functioned into the 20thC.
