TEWKSBURY
Tewksbury Township is situated in the northeastern corner of the County and borders on both Morris and Somerset Counties. It was
formed from Lebanon Township and the first township meeting was held on March 11, 1755. The original settlers were of English
extraction. However, a large German contingent settled here around 1749 and theirs became the strongest influence when
Tewksbury became a township. Zion Lutheran Church in Oldwick (formerly New Germantown) is the oldest German Lutheran parish
in New Jersey.
