Bordentown City Official Website

Bordentown Township Official Website

Bordentown City is located at the confluence of the Delaware River, Blacks Creek and Crosswicks Creek. The latter is the border between Burlington and Mercer Counties.

Bordentown was originally incorporated as a borough on December 9, 1825, from portions within Chesterfield Township. It was reincorporated as a city on April 3, 1867, and separated from Chesterfield Township c. 1877.

Bordentown Township was incorporated as a township on March 8, 1852, from portions of Chesterfield Township and Mansfield Township, based on the results of a referendum held that same day. Bordentown city separated from the township in 1877 and Fieldsboro became fully independent in 1894.

The Gilder House is the cultural centerpiece of Gilder Park.
The Gilder family gave the park to Bordentown City in 1935.
Rodman de Kay Gilder gave the house, which dates back
to the 1700's, and surrounding farm to the City under the
condition that the house would serve as a museum or public
library to the community. The Gilder House is a key component
of the Bordentown Historic District.
