Bordentown Township is a township in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 11,791,[10][11] an increase of 424 (+3.7%) from the 2010 census count of 11,367,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 2,987 (+35.6%) from the 8,380 counted in the 2000 census.[22] The township, and all of Burlington County, is a part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[23]

Bordentown was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 8, 1852, from portions of Chesterfield Township and Mansfield Township, based on the results of a referendum held that same day. Bordentown city separated from the township in 1877 and Fieldsboro became fully independent in 1894[24] The township was named for founder Joseph Borden.[25][26]

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 9.28 square miles (24.02 km2), including 8.66 square miles (22.44 km2) of land and 0.61 square miles (1.58 km2) of water (6.59%).[1][2]

The township borders Bordentown City, Chesterfield Township, Fieldsboro, Florence Township and Mansfield Township in Burlington County; Hamilton Township in Mercer County; and Falls Township across the Delaware River in Pennsylvania.[27][28][29]

Crosswicks Creek and its juncture with the Delaware River, otherwise known as the Trenton-Hamilton Marsh, is a significant ecosystem and, with the peninsula of land and waterways to the northwest of Bordentown Township known, respectively, as Duck Island, Duck Creek and the Delaware and Raritan Canal, it is protected by the State of New Jersey as the Duck Island Recreation Area.[30]

Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Bossert Estates, Dunns Mill[31] and Newbold Island.[32]

The former 40-acre (16 ha) Parklands dump brownfield site is being transformed to a solar array by PSE&G as part of a project that began in 2014.[33]
