- Description
-
Readington is a township located in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It was formed in 1730 from a portion of Amwell Township, and it was originally called Reading Township. Some colonial era records refer to the area as "Readens Town." After the Revolution, in 1798, it was reincorporated as Readingtown Township, and the "w" was eventually dropped to make Readington.
A small portion of Readington's territory was annexed to the nearby Tewksbury Township in the mid-19th century. Aside from this transfer, Readington's boundaries have remained stable since the colonial era. - Locality
