Description
Montgomery Township is located in Somerset County, New Jersey. It was originally known as the Western Precinct of Somerset County, and its borders extended to Nassau Street in present-day Princeton. The township was incorporated in 1798. Portions of the township were broken off to form parts of present-day Princeton in 1813 and in 1838. Thus some early 19th-century records that list "Montgomery Township" as the location are actually referring to places in present-day Princeton.
