Delaware Township is a strategically situated farming community, lying
halfway between New York City and Philadelphia. The township has a rich
history, going back to early Lenni-Lenape settlements. The iconic symbol
of the township is the last, and only, covered bridge in New Jersey.
Delaware Township uniquely maintains many of the vestiges of its farming
heritage, with its picturesque country roads, ancient fields, and a feed
store still in operation. Many historic structures still stand,
including the town hall, which is the site of an old tavern, and
original mill buildings. In the past, township life was focused on a
number of villages, each with its own local schools, churches, and
stores. The vintage images in Delaware Township have been graciously
shared by a number of township residents.
