Columbia Township, New Jersey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Columbia Township was a rather short-lived township that existed in Cumberland County, New Jersey, United States, from 1844-1845.

Columbia Township was incorporated by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 12, 1844, from portions of both Hopewell Township and Stow Creek Township. On March 11, 1845, just one day shy of its first anniversary, the township was dissolved and its territory restored whence it came.[1]
