The Bowne Station Road stone arch bridge over tributary of the Alexauken Creek is located in the Bowne section of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. It is on the boundary between Delaware Township and East Amwell Township. Built in 1837, the stone arch bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 11, 2024, for its significance in engineering and transportation. It was listed as part of the Historic Bridges of Delaware Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey Multiple Property Submission (MPS). The bridge was originally built in 1837, as noted by the datestone in the east parapet wall. Sandstone from the underlying Stockton Formation was used in its construction. It was widened in 1938, with a new west parapet wall and barrel vault. The area is named after Dr. John Bowne (1767–1857) who lived nearby. In 1854, the Flemington Railroad and Transportation Company built a railroad between Flemington and Lambertville, with a station located here, known as Bowne Station.

West Amwell Township School District

The West Amwell Township School District was a community public school district that served students in pre-Kindergarten through sixth grade from West Amwell Township, in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. The district's school is now part of the South Hunterdon Regional School District, which also includes Lambertville and Stockton. In a special election held in September 2013, voters from Lambertville, Stockton and West Amwell Township passed referendums to dissolve the South Hunterdon Regional High School District and to combine the three existing K-6 school districts from each municipality (Lambertville City School District, Stockton Borough School District and West Amwell Township School District), with majorities in each community passing both ballot items. A single combined regional district would be created, serving students in pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade, in which property taxes would be levied under a formula in which 57% is based on property values and 43% on the number of students. The executive county superintendent will appoint an interim board of education for the new regional district, which will be responsible for implementing the merger.As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's one school had an enrollment of 244 students and 23.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.34:1.The district was classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.Public school students in seventh through twelfth grades attended the South Hunterdon Regional High School in Lambertville, part of the South Hunterdon Regional High School District, which serves students from Lambertville, Stockton and West Amwell Township.
