West Amwell Township is a township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 3,840,[8][9][10] reflecting an increase of 1,457 (+61.1%) from the 2,383 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 132 (+5.9%) from the 2,251 counted in the 1990 Census.[18]

West Amwell was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1846, when Amwell Township was split, also creating East Amwell Township at the same time. Portions of the township were taken to form Lambertville town on March 1, 1849.[19] In 1896, the township annexed portions of Delaware Township, East Amwell Township and Raritan Township.[20] The township was named for Amwell Township, which in turn was named for Amwell, Hertfordshire in England.[21]

The Delaware Native Americans had a path through the woods from Lambertville through Mount Airy, Ringoes and Reaville to Newark upon which the Old York Road was subsequently laid.[22]

Geography

The northern areas of West Amwell are in Amwell Valley, while the southern sections are in The Sourlands region. The Delaware River separates West Amwell from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 21.776 square miles (56.398 km2), including 21.581 square miles (55.894 km2) of land and 0.195 square miles (0.505 km2) of water (0.89%).[1][2]

The township borders Delaware Township, East Amwell Township and Lambertville in Hunterdon County; Hopewell Township, in Mercer County; along with New Hope and Solebury Township across the Delaware River in Bucks County in Pennsylvania.[23]

Government

Local government

West Amwell Township is governed under the Township form of government. The governing body is a three-member Township Committee, whose members are elected directly by the voters at-large in partisan elections to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year as part of the November general election in a three-year cycle.[6][37] At an annual reorganization meeting, the Township Committee selects one of its members to serve as Mayor and another as Deputy Mayor.

As of 2016, members of the West Amwell Township Committee are Mayor Zachary T. Rich (R, term on committee and as mayor ends December 31, 2016), Deputy Mayor John C. Dale (R, term on committee ends 2017; term as deputy mayor ends 2016) and Bergenfeld (R, 2018).[3][38][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]

After voters passed a non-binding referendum in November 2014 supporting the expansion of the Township Committee from three to five members, the Township Committee addressed the process of following through with the expansion, which would involve gathering petitions of 147 voters after which the committee could approve the expansion or a bing referendum could be put on the ballot.[45]

For the 118th United States Congress, New Jersey's 7th congressional district is represented by Thomas Kean Jr. (R, Westfield).[50] New Jersey is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Cory Booker (Newark, term ends 2027)[51] and George Helmy (Mountain Lakes, term ends 2024).[52][53]

Education

The South Hunterdon Regional School District serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Lambertville, Stockton and West Amwell Township. Each of the three municipalities have their own school through sixth grade; public school students in seventh through twelfth grades attend a shared high school in Lambertville.[77] As of the 2014-15 school year, the district and its four schools had an enrollment of 961 students and 94.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.1:1.[78] Schools in the district (with 2014-15 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[79]) are Lambertville Public School[80] (244 students; grades PreK-6), Stockton Borough School[81] (grades 2-6), West Amwell School[82] (grades K-6) and South Hunterdon Regional High School[83] (grades 9-12).[84][85]

In a special election held in September 2013, voters from Lambertville, Stockton and West Amwell Township passed referenda to dissolve the South Hunterdon Regional High School District and to combine the three existing school districts from each municipality (Lambertville City School District, Stockton Borough School District and West Amwell Township School District), with majorities in each community passing both ballot items. A single combined regional district was created, serving students in grades preK-12, in which property taxes are levied under a formula in which 57% is based on property values and 43% on the number of students. The executive county superintendent appointed an interim board of education for the new regional district, which was responsible for implementing the merger.[86]
