Bordentown Township is a township in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 11,791,[10][11] an increase of 424 (+3.7%) from the 2010 census count of 11,367,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 2,987 (+35.6%) from the 8,380 counted in the 2000 census.[22] The township, and all of Burlington County, is a part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[23]

Bordentown was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature 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[24] The township was named for founder Joseph Borden.[25][26]
