Hopewell Township
Since the birth of our nation, many locales within the thirteen original colonies have laid claim to being the crossroads of the American Revolution. However, Hopewell Township stands alone as the place where General Washington landed his troops after crossing the Delaware River on Christmas night in 1776 and then trudged across our icy fields. Most historians agree that the Battle of Trenton was the turning point of the war, thereby securing Hopewell Township’s historical place as both the geographic and inspirational crossroads of the American Revolution. Our citizens take pride in the Township’s historical significance, and we work towards innovative ways of preserving both the land and the character of the community we cherish.
It is our hope that Hopewell Township’s future will look a lot like its past, where open spaces and farm land, and even a few oxen, dominate the landscape.
We celebrate both our future and our past by sponsoring ‘Childhood “Wox” Through Hopewell Valley,’ an ox that was decorated by the children of the MOMS Club® of Hopewell Valley. We recognize the role of the arts in the social and developmental growth of our children, and we know that preserving our past and optimizing our future will take some creativity. We are happy to support and encourage the role of the arts in our community.
