History
Greenwich Township was first formed as a precinct on January 19, 1748, and was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798, as one of New Jersey's initial group of 104 townships. Portions of Hopewell Township and Stow Creek Township were annexed in 1845.[22] The township was named for Greenwich, England.[23][24]
In 1774, during the run-up to the American Revolutionary War, the small community on the Cohansey River was the site of the Greenwich Tea Party, in which a load of tea meant to be sent overland into Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was torched in the night.[25][26] After the Revolutionary War, the pronunciation of the town was changed to Green-witch to differentiate itself from its English namesake.[20]
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 18.75 square miles (48.55 km2), including 17.77 square miles (46.03 km2) of land and 0.97 square miles (2.52 km2) of water (5.19%).[1][2]
The township borders the municipalities of Fairfield Township, Hopewell Township and Stow Creek Township in Cumberland County; and Lower Alloways Creek Township in Salem County and the Delaware Bay.[27][28]
Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Bacons Neck, Bayside, Caviar, Davis Mills, Othello, Sheppards Mill, Springtown and Stathams Neck.[29]
