Ong's Hat (also Ong) is a ghost town in Pemberton Township, Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[2] It is located on Magnolia Road (County Route 644) west of the Four Mile Circle, where New Jersey Route 72 intersects with New Jersey Route 70.[3] It is the northern terminus of the Batona Trail.
Although it was never more than one hut ("Ong's Hut"), it still appeared on some maps as of 2006.[4] A road in the area is named Ong's Hat Road. It is also called the Buddtown-Ong's Hat Road. It was completed in 1929, replacing an earlier dirt path.[5]
