Description
Beginning circa 1745, Somerset County was subdivided into administrative precincts. The Northern Precinct quickly began to splinter into townships. In 1749, portions of the precinct were taken to form Bedminster and Bridgewater townships. In 1760, the remaining part of the Northern Precinct became Bernardston (now Bernards township), and thus, the Northern Precinct was dissolved as an entity.
