Hunterdon
Originally part of Burlington County, West Jersey. It was divided from Burlington by an enactment of the General Assembly which passed on March 11, 1714 and became official on March 22, 1714.
It was named in honor of General Robert Hunter, who was Governor-General of the provinces of New Jersey and New York at the time it was formed.
From 1714 until 1739 when Morris Couty was divided from its land mass, Hunterdon County was a vast territory stretching from the Assunpink Creek at what is now Trenton to the boundary line of the provinces of New Jersey and New York. Its original territory included nearly all of the counties that are now Hunterdon, Mercer, Morris, Warren, and Sussex.
