. History of Warren County, New Jersey
An Indian trail known as the "Minisinks' Path" ran across this township from the gap in the mountains above Sand Pond to Marksboro, & on past Allamuchy & Budd's Lake to Elizabeth. It was wide enough for men to travel in on horseback when first visited by white men in 1715. It was along this path over the mountains that the early settlers in Hardwick had to take their grain to mill on horseback to the earlier settlement in Pahaquarry.

The settlers of the Paulins Kill Valley in this township were nearly all Germans. The first settlers came about 1740. John Teel & John Mingle both located here about 1755. Jacob Armstrong was at one time owner of the larger part of what is now Hardwick Township. In 1771 a church was built at Stillwater, then in Hardwick, for the use of the German Lutheran & German Calvinist congregations, who worshipped on alternate Sundays.
