Readington

Created by Royal Charter of King George II "Readings" Township was formed July 15, 1730. It was the first new township created after Hunterdon became a county. During the early part of the Eighteenth Century Dutch settlers had begun putting this area in the mainstream of development. Many names of the original settlers are still to be found in Readington Township. Their descendants are numerous and some still living on family farms. Growth in Readington was slow and orderly. It was an agrarian society of little villages.
