Chester Township NJ

Chester Township was established on April 1, 1799, from portions of both Roxbury Township and Washington Township. Additional territories were acquired from Randolph Township (in 1806) and Washington Township (1840 and 1853). Portions of the township were taken on April 3, 1930, to form Chester Borough, a separate municipality surrounded entirely by Chester Township.
