Amwell Township, New Jersey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amwell Township was a Township that existed in Hunterdon County, New Jersey from 1708 to 1954.

The Township was established by a royal patent in 1708 from Queen Anne, the first sovereign of the combined kingdom of Great Britain. At the time of its inception, its territory comprised 200 square miles and included the present day Delaware Township, Raritan Township, Readington Township, East Amwell Township and West Amwell Township and portions of Clinton, Lebanon and Tewksbury Townships.

In 1846, Amwell was split into East and West Amwell and in 1954 a final adjustment was made to the two township's boundary lines.
