             CELEBRATING GREEN TOWNSHIP'S 200TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. THOMAS H. KEAN, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 5, 2024

  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate and 
congratulate Green Township on their 200th anniversary. I am extremely 
grateful to be able to be here today and celebrate this incredible 
milestone. Over the past 200 years, Green Township has shown itself to 
be a lively area with a strong community. In 1824, Green Township 
emerged from the northern parts of Hardwick and Independence townships. 
Over the decades, Green Township has gone through significant changes, 
including expansions, the incorporation of Fredon Township, and the 
rise of vibrant communities like Tranquility and Greendell. As we 
reflect on its history, we can use the past two centuries as reminders 
of the resilience and changes our community has gone through, and the 
future that is to come. I am honored to have such an amazing township 
in the 7th Congressional District, and I look forward to what is to 
come.
