White Township is a township in Warren County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 4,606,[8] a decrease of 276 (−5.7%) from the 2010 census count of 4,882,[16][17] which in turn reflected an increase of 637 (+15.0%) from the 4,245 counted in the 2000 census.[18]

White Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 9, 1913, from portions of Oxford Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 1, 1913, making it the second-youngest township in the county.[19][20] The township was named after Alexander White, who came to the area sometime before 1760 and built a stone mansion called "The White House" near a place called Roxburg.[21][22]
