Robbinsville Township is a township in Mercer County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Located at the cross-roads between the Delaware Valley region to the southwest and the Raritan Valley region to the northeast, the township is considered part of the New York Metropolitan area as defined by the United States Census Bureau,[20] but directly borders the Philadelphia metropolitan area and is part of the Federal Communications Commission's Philadelphia Designated Market Area.[21] As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 15,476,[11][12] its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 1,834 (+13.4%) from the 13,642 recorded at the 2010 census,[22][23] which in turn reflected an increase of 3,367 (+32.8%) from the 10,275 counted in the 2000 census.[24] The township is named for George R. Robbins, who served in the United States House of Representatives from 1855 to 1859 and lived in the area.[25] Inspired by its central geographical location within New Jersey, Robbinsville's motto is Be at the Center of it All.[1]

What is now Robbinsville Township was originally incorporated as Washington Township (named for George Washington[25]) by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 15, 1859, from portions of East Windsor Township.[26] On November 6, 2007, voters approved by a vote of 1,816 to 693[27] a measure that changed the township's name from Washington Township (the name of five other municipalities in New Jersey) to Robbinsville, named after a settlement within the township. The official changeover took place January 1, 2008, as signs and other items with "Washington" on them began to be changed.[28]

Robbinsville Township is known for reaching the Little League Softball World Series in four of the seven years from 2008 to 2014, the only program in the nation to do so.[29] The team won the championship in 2014 with a 22–0 postseason record and a 4–1 win against Bossier City, Louisiana in the tournament final.[30][31] the team was featured in a story by ESPNw as a perennial softball powerhouse.[29]
