The Flagtown Fire Department was the first fire company formed in the Township of Hillsborough, which is the largest town in the County of Somerset New Jersey. In 1937, seven members of the Township Board of Trade decided that Hillsborough needed its own fire company. On May 27, 1938, the Hillsborough Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 received its charter.
