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. Containing almost forty-eight
square miles, it remains the largest township in the County. Bounded on the
north by the Lamington River and Rockaway Creek; east Somerset County; south,
the South Branch of the Raritan River; and west by the old West Jersey
Society's line which crosses the Cushetunk Mountains. Early settlement was
mainly of Dutch origin.
