Paulina is an unincorporated community located in Blairstown in Warren County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[1]
Paulina is located on the Paulins Kill, approximately 1miles east of downtown Blairstown.
Around 1768, William Armstrong constructed a grist mill there, which remained for more than a century. A second grist mill was constructed in Paulina in 1783 by Peter B. Shafer. That mill was later used as an axe-helve factory and saw mill.[2]
By 1851, Paulina had a post office, and by 1882 the population was 110. In 1890, a grist mill was still located there.[2] [3] [4]
In 1895, the Paulina Dam, also known as the Paulina Lake Dam,[5] was built on the Paulins Kill. Rated a "significant hazard" by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the process of removing it started in December 2023.[6]
The Paulinskill Valley Trail, a 30miles long recreational rail trail following the former route of the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway, passes through Paulina.[7]
