Hope Township is a township in Warren County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 1,835,^[7] a decrease of 117 (−6.0%) from the 2010 census count of 1,952,^[16]^[17] which in turn reflected an increase of 61 (+3.2%) from the 1,891 counted in the 2000 census.^[18] The 2010 population of 1,952 reflected an all-time high since the 1,903 recorded in the 1840 census, the first recorded population after the township was formed.

Hope Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 8, 1839, from portions of Knowlton Township and Oxford Township, based on the results of a referendum held that day. Liberty Township was created on March 25, 1926, from portions of the township.^[19]
