Because Kingston is not a municipality, governments and GPS systems sometimes use other names for roads and locations. This page has some simple maps to find Kingston community locations.
For example, “Main Street” is the local name for New Jersey Route 27, also called “The Lincoln Highway”, or NJ27. House numbers on the South Brunswick (east) side do not match numbers on the Franklin Township (west) side.
