Mount Holly Township is a Township in Burlington County, New Jersey. It is the county seat of Burlington County.

What is now Mount Holly was originally formed as Northampton on November 6, 1688. Portions of the township were taken to form Little Egg Harbor Township, Washington Township, Pemberton borough, Pemberton Township, Westampton Township and Lumberton Township. The township was renamed Mount Holly as of November 6, 1931, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier.

Mount Holly borders Westampton Township, Eastampton Township, Lumberton Township, and Hainesport Township.

On December 17, 1776, Colonel Samuel Griffin crossed the Delaware River with 600 men ? mostly untrained men and boys, and with little equipment ? and marched to Mount Holly, where he set up a few "3-pounder" artillery pieces on Iron Works Hill. Hessian commanders von Block and Carl von Donop, were told that there were 3,000 American troops at Mount Holly.

By December 24, 1776, 2,000 Hessians were moved from Bordentown and positioned at The Mount in Mount Holly, where they engaged in a day-long artillery battle with the Americans on Iron Works Hill. The Americans slipped away that night.

After George Washington crossed the Delaware River on December 25, 1776, the fact that thousands of Hessian troops had been drawn to Mount Holly aided in the Continental Army's success in the Battle of Trenton the next day, a surprising American victory that helped turn the Army's fading morale after the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Fort Washington just weeks before and the ignominious retreat through New Jersey.
