The township is within the New York metropolitan area as defined by the United States Census Bureau, but directly borders the Philadelphia metropolitan area and is part of the Federal Communications Commission 's Philadelphia Designated Market Area. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a total population of 88,464, reflecting an increase of 1,355 ( + 1.6 % ) from the 87,109 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 556 ( + 0.6 % ) from the 86,553 counted in the 1990 Census. The township was the state 's 9th - largest municipality, after having been ranked 10th in 2000. The township is located immediately east of the city of Trenton, the state 's capital. Hamilton was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 11, 1842, from portions of the now - defunct Nottingham Township. Portions of the township were taken to form Chambersburg borough ( April 1, 1872, annexed by Trenton in 1888 ) and Wilbur borough ( April 24, 1891, annexed by Trenton in 1898 ). Hamilton Township derives its name from the village of Hamilton Square, which might have been named for Alexander Hamilton. In 2006, Hamilton Township was ranked by Morgan Quitno as the eighteenth - safest city in the United States, out of 369 cities nationwide. In the company 's 2005 survey, the Township was ranked 15th safest of 354 cities surveyed nationwide.

Although Hamilton is one of the largest townships in New Jersey it does n't have a true `` downtown '', but a number of settlements within the township form smaller commercial centers. Groveville ( with a 2010 Census population of 2,945 ), Hamilton Square ( 12,784 ), Mercerville ( 13,230 ), White Horse ( 9,494 ) and Yardville ( 7,186 ) are all census - designated places and unincorporated communities located within the township. Other unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Briar Manor, Broad Street Park, Bromley, Chewalla Park, Creston, DeCou Village, Deutzville, Duck Island, East Trenton Heights, Edgebrook, Extonville, Golden Crest, Gropps Lake, Haines Corner, Hutchinson Mills, Lakeside Park, Maple Shade, North Crosswicks, Nottingham, Oil City, Pond Run, Quaker Bridge, Quaker Gardens, Rosemont, The Orchards, Trenton Gardens, Warner Village, White City and Yardville Heights. Van Nest Wildlife Refuge is a 98 - acre ( 40 ha ) wildlife management area operated by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection 's Division of Fish and Wildlife. As of late 2005, much of the new residential development in Hamilton has been geared to accommodating the aging baby boomer generation. New retirement communities and assisted - living facilities outpace that of new traditional residential communities. Such construction has been spurred by several factors. The first being that the public is skeptical of growing school budgets due to its already large size. Hamilton voters have often rejected increases in school budgets in their yearly elections to keep already high taxes from growing higher. As a result, the planning board has been reluctant to authorize construction of housing that will increase the student population. Another reason is a series of improvements to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. The hospital is now a highly respected source of care in the state. It is situated next to where most of the under - developed land in the township used to be, land that is now home to the active older - adult communities. As of October 2016, significant construction has been done to further build up the Hamilton Township area. Multiple new retirement communities have been constructed, as well as multiple new restaurants, banks, gas stations and convenience stores along Route 33. Hamilton Township continues to expand rapidly to accommodate the increase in citizens residing in the community.
