Brief Overview: The Delaware Indians had a path through the woods from Lambertville through Mount Airy, Ringoes and Reaville to Newark upon which the Old York Road was subsequently laid. West Amwell Township was originally part of Amwell Township which was formed in 1708 when Hunterdon County was still part of Burlington County--West Amwell split from East Amwell in 1846. Perhaps the most notable fact in West Amwell Township is that the new growth has not replaced the old community charm.
Population: 2,251 (1990 census)
Area: 21.8 square miles
