Subject: [NJHUNTER] HOPEWELL
Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 09:34:10 EST


On Feb 22, 1838 Mercer County was formed from portions of Hunterdon,
Burlington and Middlesex Counties. At this time Hopewell Township was divided
in half. The Township existed in this divided form for nearly a year, with
reunification occurring on Feb 19, 1839. From that date on the whole of the
reconstituted Hopewell Township was placed in Mercer County. However, on
March 13, 1844, Hopewell Township was removed from Mercer County and placed
within Hunterdon County. This too lasted nearly a year until Hopewell was
returned to its present place within Mercer County on Feb 5, 1845
