Lincoln, officially known as Lincoln City, is an unincorporated community in Sussex County, south of Milford. The population is around 500.
Lincoln was built on the Junction & Breakwater Railroad, and was laid out in 1865. The founder envisioned a large city, and surveyed wide streets for substantial growth.
Residents of Lincoln have debated the topic of incorporating. A limited-access freeway has been proposed for central Sussex County, and would go right through the Lincoln area after bypassing Milford to the north. Incorporation would allow the community to have a say on where the expressway goes, as opposed to the county deciding everything. Incorporation would also be a solution to encroaching suburbanization from Milford.
