The earliest inhabitants of present-day Ewing Township in the historic era were [[Lenape|Lenni Lenape]] [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]], who lived along the banks of the [[Delaware River]]. Their pre-colonial subsistence activities in the area included hunting, fishing, pottery-making, and simple farming.<ref name=History>[https://ewingnj.org/visitor/history History], Ewing Township. Accessed November 25, 2019. "In the early years of settlement, Ewing was chiefly a woodland area; however, after the Revolution, Ewing embarked upon a long period of agricultural growth and activity. In 1844, historians Barber and Howe described the Township as having some of the richest soil in New Jersey. Early development was in the form of small hamlets scattered throughout the Township, including Birmingham (now known as West Trenton), Ewing, Ewingville, and Greensburg (now Wilburtha)."</ref> European settlers, mostly from the British Isles, began to colonize the area in 1699. One of the earliest European settlers was William Green, and his 1717 farmhouse still stands on the campus of [[The College of New Jersey]].<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20150121060900/http://www.williamgreenhouse.org/house/default.html About the Farmhouse]}}, Friends of the Wm Green Farmhouse.

Circa 1717 to 1730 section: The oldest remaining section, is the southeast segment of the building. This was originally a 2 ½ story brick house. The fine [[Flemish bond]] brickwork of this section is similar to that used in the 1719 Trent House in Trenton. Its interior preserves original 18th-century detailing. Circa 1750 to 1790 section: The second oldest section, added as the Green family grew, is located behind the oldest portion. It forms the northeast segment of the house and added four rooms and a stair hall. Circa 1830 section: The third building stage, a two-room-deep brick addition to the west, nearly doubled the size of the house."</ref>

The area that is now Ewing Township was part of [[Hopewell Township, Mercer County, New Jersey|Hopewell Township]] in what was a very large [[Burlington County, New Jersey|Burlington County]] at the beginning of the 18th century.

When Ewing Township was incorporated in the 19th century, it was primarily farmland with a handful of scattered hamlets, including [[Ewing (unincorporated community), New Jersey|Carleton]] (now known as Ewing), [[Ewingville, New Jersey|Cross Keys]] (now known as Ewingville), [[West Trenton, New Jersey|Birmingham]] (now known as West Trenton) and [[Wilburtha, New Jersey|Greensburg]] (now known as Wilburtha).<ref name=History/> Since the beginning of the 20th century, the township has developed as a suburb of [[Trenton, New Jersey|Trenton]]. The sections near the city border are distinctly urban, but most of the township is suburban residential development. The main commercial district extends along North Olden Avenue Extension ([[County Route 622 (Mercer County, New Jersey)|County Route 622]]), originally constructed to connect north Trenton residences with the now-closed [[Inland Fisher Guide Plant (New Jersey)|General Motors Inland Fisher Guide Plant]]. Ewing Township today is the location of [[The College of New Jersey]], the Community Blood Council of New Jersey, [[New Jersey State Police]] headquarters, the Jones Farm State Correction Institute, the [[Trenton Psychiatric Hospital]], the [[New Jersey Department of Transportation]] headquarters, the Maria H. Katzenbach School for the Deaf and [[Trenton-Mercer Airport]].
