Description
Mansfield Township in Warren County, New Jersey, is located in the northern part of the state. It was originally formed from portions of the Greenwich Township in 1754. The township was originally known as Mansfield-Woodhouse Township and changed to simply Mansfield in 1798. Originally, the township was part of Sussex County, and Sussex County slavery records contain multiple documents related to people who lived in Mansfield. In 1824, when a large portion of Sussex County broke off to create Warren County, Mansfield became part of Warren County. Throughout the 19th century, portions of Mansfield were taken to create other municipalities in Warren County, including Franklin, Washington, Oxford, and Hackettstown.

Not to be confused with Mansfield Township, Burlington County, in the southern part of New Jersey, which shares the same name.
