History

The Long and arduous trial took place in Burlington, NJ , and eventually ruled against the settlers, who were forced to repurchase their land or relocate. As of the United States 2000 Census, the borough population was 2,035.

The First Colonial Influence in Hopewell was the purchase of a tract of land by Daniel Coxe a Royal British Empire governor of West New Jersey, in the latter half of the 17th century. On April 23rd, 1715 the settlers who stayed in Hopewell, most notably the Stout family, organized the Old School Baptist Church, and what is now known as Hopewell was then referred to as ‘Baptist Meetinghouse’. Numerous lumber mills were established in and around Hopewell at this time to process the lumber that was generated from the clearing of forests for farms. One of the most valued members of the meetinghouse was Declaration of Independence signer John Hart who in 1740 purchased of land in the north of current day Hopewell, and in 1747 as a sign of Hart’s devotion to the Church, donated a plot of his land to the Baptist’s.
