History

Kingwood Township was the home of Daniel Bray, the local captain who rounded up the boats for George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War.[citation needed]

Kingwood Township is one of the westernmost townships of Hunterdon County. Kingwood was originally established around 1746 when it was created from Bethlehem Township, though the exact details are uncertain.[21] Kingwood was incorporated by Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798, as one of New Jersey's initial group of 104 townships. Portions of the township were taken to form Franklin Township on April 7, 1845. Frenchtown borough acquired portions of the township in 1876.[22]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 35.774 square miles (92.655 km2), including 35.158 square miles (91.060 km2) of land and 0.616 square mile (1.594 km2) of water (1.72%).[6][19]
