Zion is a small place in Somerset County, New Jersey. It's not a town with its own government. Instead, it's an "unincorporated community." This means it's part of two larger areas: Hillsborough Township and Montgomery Township.
Zion is located right next to a stream called Rock Brook. It's about 3 miles (5 km) north of a town named Hopewell.
What is Zion?
Zion is a community that doesn't have its own official town hall or mayor. It's like a neighborhood that belongs to bigger townships. People who live in Zion get their services, like police and fire, from Hillsborough and Montgomery Townships.
The Historic Rock Brook Bridge
One of the most interesting things in Zion is the Rock Brook Bridge. This bridge is very old and important. It's so special that it's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This list includes buildings, sites, and objects that are important in American history. Being on this list helps protect the bridge so people can enjoy it for many years to come.
