Little Rocky Hill is a small community in the state of New Jersey, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community," which means it's a group of homes or businesses that don't have their own local government like a town or city would. Instead, it's part of larger areas around it.

Where is Little Rocky Hill Located?
Little Rocky Hill is special because it sits across two different counties and two different townships. Part of it is in South Brunswick in Middlesex County. The other part is in Franklin Township in Somerset County.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live that isn't officially a city or a town with its own mayor and town council. Instead, it's governed by the larger county or township it's located within. This means services like police, fire, and schools are usually managed by the county or township.
Geography of Little Rocky Hill
This community gets its name because it's located on top of a small hill. This hill is just east of another place called Rocky Hill.
County Lines and Waterways
An interesting feature of Little Rocky Hill is how the county line runs through it. The border between Middlesex County and Somerset County actually goes right through the community. For some parts, it follows a road called Old Road. In other places, it follows Route 27. A small stream called Carters Brook also flows through this area, heading south.
