History
Johnsonburg originated as an important stagecoach stop. An east-west route carried mail from Dover, New Jersey to Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and a north-south route carried mail from Albany, New York to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Both routes crossed at right angles at this location, and a post office and tavern were built. The tavern became an important meeting place, and elections and caucuses were held there.
A jail was erected in 1753, and the community became known as "Log Gaol" (log jail). Located at the time in Sussex County, Log Gaol was the county seat from 1753 to 1765. The county court was also located at Log Gaol.
By 1882, the population had grown to 300. Johnsonburg had a post office, a large glove factory, and a "good local trade".
The Erie Lackawanna Railway opened a station in Johnsonburg in 1911, along a mainline running between Hoboken, New Jersey and Cleveland, Ohio. The railway was important to local dairy farmers, who shipped their products east to Newark and New York City.
