Hopewell township dates back to February 20, 1700, when the area was still part of Burlington County. It was formerly the name for one of two portions of 800 acres (3.2 km2) of land purchased in 1714 by William Trent, and was formally set off to Hunterdon County, when that county was created on March 11, 1714. Trenton Township was formed out of this estate on June 3, 1719, later to become the City of Trenton.

Hopewell Township was incorporated by Royal charter on March 1, 1755, and incorporated on February 21, 1798. Hopewell Township became part of Mercer County at its creation on February 22, 1838. Portions of the township were taken to form Marion Township (February 22, 1838, reverted back to Hopewell Township on February 14, 1839), Pennington (January 31, 1890) and Hopewell Borough (April 14, 1891), with additional portions of the township transferred to both Pennington and Hopewell Borough in 1915.

Spring House
River Drive
Titusville, NJ 08560

This Spring House was used by the family living
at the colonial Ferry House across River Road (Route 9).
The Spring House and the Store Barn facing the
Ferry House are the only outbuildings of a once
thriving family homestead and tavern. Spring Houses
were generally built in ground hollows over a spring,
and were used for the storing of milk. The cold
spring water running over the milk containers
kept it cool as a refrigerator does today. Earth was
usually sprinkled on the roof to encourage the
growth of moss. This served as insulation to keep
the interior of the building cool.
