(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/goodspeedhist/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114This is a revised version of an article first published April 2, 2008 In light of the politics involved in the division of old Amwell Township and the local distress it caused, Delaware Township did not have a very auspicious beginning. But once the furor died down, local residents got to work and did what was necessary to set up a new township government.<\/p>\n New Jersey law, passed in 1798, required township committees to have five members serving one-year terms, whose duties were to manage the finances of the township and hold an annual town meeting. The legislation creating Delaware, Raritan and Amwell Townships ordered that \u201a\u00c4\u00fathis act shall take effect and be in force on and after the first Monday of April next.\u201a\u00c4\u00f9 That was April 2, 1838. So, one might say that April 2nd is the birthday of Delaware Township. It is probably more correct to say the birthday was April 9th, for that was the day of the first town meeting.<\/p>\n
