==History==
Pohatcong Township was officially established in 1881. On March 24, 1881, Chapter 145 of the Acts of the New Jersey General Assembly was published defining and creating Pohatcong Township. The act to form Pohatcong had been introduced by Assemblyman William Fritts and, once law, was to take effect January 1 of the following year.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Pohatcong: The Prologue |last=Leary |first=Frank |publisher=Pohatcong Heritage Commission |year=1981 }}</ref> Pohatcong was incorporated on January 1, 1882.<ref>Hutchinson, Viola L.
