About East Amwell
East Amwell Township occupies a broad rural landscape in southern Hunterdon County. Ringoes serves as the township's principal village and civic center, while Reaville, Clover Hill, Wertsville, New Market–Linvale/Snydertown, Dawlis Mill/Spring Mill and other historic areas preserve the township's crossroads character.
Farm preservation, open space and the Sourland landscape remain central to the community. The township's current planning work continues to address agriculture, land use, housing and preservation while maintaining a low-density rural identity.
