Washington Township is a township in Warren County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 6,492,[9][10] a decrease of 159 (−2.4%) from the 2010 census count of 6,651,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 403 (+6.5%) from the 6,248 counted in the 2000 census.[20]

The township is one of six municipalities in New Jersey under the name Washington (one of which is a borough, five of which are townships). Washington Township, Warren County completely surrounds the borough of Washington. Mansfield Township, also in Warren County, borders both this municipality and another Washington Township in Morris County.

Washington Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 9, 1849, from portions of Mansfield Township. Portions of the township were taken on February 20, 1868, to create Washington Borough.[21] The township was named for George Washington, one of more than ten communities statewide named for the first president.[22][23] It is one of five municipalities in the state of New Jersey with the name "Washington Township".[24] Another municipality, Washington Borough, is completely surrounded by Washington Township.

Geography[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 18.05 square miles (46.75 km2), including 17.96 square miles (46.52 km2) of land and 0.09 square miles (0.23 km2) of water (0.49%).[1][2]

Brass Castle (with a 2010 Census population of 1,555[25]) and Port Colden (2010 population of 122[26]) are unincorporated communities and census-designated places (CDPs) located within the township.[27][28][29]

Other unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Bowerstown, Butlers Park, Changewater, Fort Golden, Imlaydale, and Pleasant Valley.[30][31][32]

Washington Township borders the municipalities of Franklin Township, Mansfield Township, Oxford Township and White Township in Warren County; and Bethlehem Township, Hampton and Lebanon Township in Hunterdon County.[33][34] The borough of Washington is completely surrounded by Washington Township, making it part of 21 pairs of "doughnut towns" in the state, where one municipality entirely surrounds another.[35]

In December 2013, the Township Council chose Theresa Iacobucci from among three candidates offered by the Republican municipal committee to fill the vacant seat of John A. Horensky following his resignation. Iacobucci served on an interim basis until the November 2014 general election, when she was elected to serve the balance of the term through December 2015[56]
