Description
Hardwick is a township in Warren County, New Jersey, bordering Sussex County. The surrounding area was considered to be Morris County until 1753. The township of Hardwick was established in 1750 from portions of Greenwich Township and was originally much larger than it is today. Its borders shrank through partitions and annexations in the 18th and 19th century. The townships of Blairstown and Frelinghuysen in Warren County and townships of Stillwater and Green in Sussex County were all at one time a part of Hardwick Township, and records of slavery in those modern municipalities are likely to be filed under Hardwick.

Hardwick was part of Sussex County until 1824 when the new Warren County was established. Some documents related to slavery in Hardwick can be found among Sussex County records since the area was part of that county from 1753 to 1824.
