Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox settlement Bonhamtown is a section of Edison Township in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The area was named after Nicholas Bonham, a freeholder from the 17th century. Along with New Dover, New Durham, and Stelton it is one of the older historical communities established before the present-day municipality was incorporated.[7] The historical community of Bonhamtown was originally part of Woodbridge Township. Bonhamtown became part of Raritan Township in 1870 when it was formed from portions of Woodbridge and Piscataway townships. Raritan Township was renamed Edison Township in 1954.[8]

Bonhamton was the site of a battle during the Forage Wars during the American Revolutionary War.

Bonhamtown is surrounded by several major roads, which include: Interstate 287, the New Jersey Turnpike, U.S. Route 1, Route 27, and Route 440.

The Bonhamtown Branch of Conrail Shared Assets Operations (CRCX) runs through the area[9] from the Northeast Corridor to Raritan Center, site of the former Raritan Arsenal.[10]
