The story of how this came about is a surprising one, and a little disheartening.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\nOn February 27, 1838, the people who lived in Delaware Township, Hunterdon County called themselves residents of Amwell Township. That\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s what they had been ever since 1708 when Amwell Township was created at the behest of John Reading, one of its earliest residents. Amwell was a huge township, compared to the other towns in Hunterdon County\u201a\u00c4\u00ee128 square miles, a good three times larger than the other towns, with three times the population. It consisted of present-day Raritan, Delaware, East and West Amwell, Lambertville, Stockton and Flemington.
