As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 8,165,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 137 (-1.7%) from the 8,302 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,216 (+17.2%) from the 7,086 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed July 24, 2012.〕 Bedminster was settled in 1710 by Dutch, Germans, and Scots-Irish immigrants. It was named after Bedminster, then in Somerset, England and now a suburb of Bristol.〔Lurie, Maxine N.; and Mappen, Marc. ("Bedminster" ), p. 66.

Accessed August 27, 2015.〕 Bedminster Township was created by Royal charter on April 4, 1749, from portions of the Northern precinct. It was incorporated formally by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Portions of the township were taken on March 28, 1912, to form Peapack-Gladstone.〔Snyder, John P.

("SBC, spawn of AT&T, now in talks to buy it" ), ''Newsday'', January 28, 2005. Accessed May 8, 2012. "AT&T's residential business, on the other hand, was once its core but has faced more competition amid lower profits as cellular service providers and cable companies edged their way into the phone business. So last year, AT&T, based in Bedminster, N.J., discontinued marketing residential long-distance service to new customers."〕 AT&T's Global Network Operations Center, which monitors traffic worldwide on AT&T's network, is currently located in Bedminister.〔Staff. ("AT&T Races to Expand the Network" ), ''The New York Times'', September 3, 2009. Accessed May 8, 2012. "About an hour outside of New York City in Bedminster, N.J., AT&T's Global Network Operations Center monitors patterns of usage across AT&T's network of communications systems, including its wireless, IP and data networks."〕 It was also the corporate headquarters for Verizon Wireless before it was relocated to nearby Basking Ridge in 2006. Bedminster Township is noted for having one of the most historic revolutionary war sites in the United States at what is known as the Pluckemin Continental Artillery Cantonment Site, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. General Henry Knox, chief of the Continental Army artillery, was the leader responsible for building what was the country's first military artillery training academy, the forerunner to United States Military Academy at West Point.〔(Pluckemin Artillery Cantonment Academy & National Historic Site ), Jacobus Vanderveer / Knox House & Museum.
