Tewksbury Township is situated in the northeastern corner of the County and borders on both Morris and Somerset Counties. It was formed from Lebanon Township and the first township meeting was held on March 11, 1755. The original settlers were of English extraction. However, a large German contingent settled here around 1749 and theirs became the strongest influence when Tewksbury became a township. Zion Lutheran Church in Oldwick (formerly New Germantown) is the oldest German Lutheran parish in New Jersey.
Another early community is the 67-acre Free Acres, established in 1910 by Bolton Hall, a New York entrepreneur and reformer. Among the early residents was the actor James Cagney. Much of the early life in Berkeley Heights is documented at the Littell-Lord Farmhouse Museum & Farmstead, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum is an 18-acre property surrounding two houses, one of which was built in the 1750's. The township has a country atmosphere while still within an easy commute to New York City and other nearby corporate and professional facilities. For instance, the headquarters of Lucent Technologies, Inc. is located in Berkeley Heights. The town offers a variety of housing, including single family, condominiums and townhouses. The rolling hills and mature trees provide an attractive setting for ideal suburban living.
