Wallpack Center (also known as Walpack Center) is an unincorporated community located within Walpack Township, Sussex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[1] [2] Wallpack Center is located in the Flat Brook Valley 6.7miles west of Branchville. Wallpack Center has a post office with ZIP Code 07881.[3] [4] It is now part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.[5]
Wallpack Center was established as a farming community in the mid-1800s. The community, which is located in a rural area, functioned as a service center for the surrounding farms. Due to its isolated location, the community only served farmers within its valley, which could not easily go to other communities for services. In the 1900s, the community declined as larger settlements were able to serve the farms in the region.
The community presently includes the post office, a church, a former school used for storage, and six houses.
