Description
Bridgewater Township is located in Somerset County, NJ. The township was originally created by Royal charter in 1749 from a portion of Somerset County's Northern Precinct. The county seat, Somerville, and all of the surrounding communities located on the north shore of the Raritan River in Somerset County were originally part of Bridgewater. Several communities broke off from Bridgewater in the 19th century and formed separate municipalities, including Branchburg Township (1845), Somerville (1863), Raritan (1868), and Bound Brook (1869). A small portion of Bridgewater was taken in 1806 for Warren Township.
