What is now Mount Holly was originally formed as Northampton on November six, sixteen eighty-eight. Northampton was incorporated as one of New Jersey's initial one hundred four townships by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February twenty-first, seventeen ninety-eight. Mount Holly Township is a Township in Burlington County , New Jersey , United States . As of the United States two thousand Census, the township population was ten thousand, seven hundred twenty-eight. It is the county seat of Burlington County . The township was renamed Mount Holly as of November six, nineteen thirty-one, based on the results of a referendum held three days earlier. For Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade, students attend the Mount Holly Township Public Schools. John Brainerd School is an elementary school that includes pre-Kindergarten to fourth grade and serves three hundred nine students. Gertrude C. Folwell School is an elementary school that includes pre-K to fourth grade and has three hundred thirty students. F. W. Holbein Middle School includes grades five through eighth and has four hundred sixty-nine students. For grades nine to twelve, public school students attend the Rancocas Valley Regional High School , a comprehensive regional public high school serving students in grades ninth through twelve from five communities encompassing approximately forty square miles and comprised of the communities of Eastampton Township , Hainesport Township , Lumberton Township , Mount Holly Township and Westampton Township . The current population of the school is approximately two thousand, two hundred fifty students. The school is located in Mount Holly Township and is part of the Rancocas Valley Regional High School District . By December twenty-third, seventeen seventy-six, two thousand Hessians were moved from Bordentown and positioned at The Mount in Mount Holly , where they engaged in a three 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 twenty-fifth, seventeen seventy-six, 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.
