Sir George Carteret was granted
the last of East Jersey by King Charles II of England through his brother James, Duke of
York.
In 1688 Somerset County was set off from Middlesex County and was divided into
three precincts. The Western Precinct an area later to become known as Montgomery
Township, was so named for Gen. Richard Montgomery, a much decorated
Revolutionary War hero.
Today, the Township of Montgomery, NJ is a thriving area of approximately 32.26
square miles. It is made up mostly of residential development. The convenience
of Princeton, Trenton and Philadelphia makes this community an ideal location. |
