As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 8,014,〔〔〔 reflecting an increase of 2,249 (+39.0%) from the 5,765 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 713 (+14.1%) from the 5,052 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7.

Accessed September 21, 2012.〕 The township is part of the eastern region of the Lehigh Valley.
Lopatcong Township was featured in a 2003 article in ''The New York Times'' which discussed problems of public school financing in suburban communities and various strategies communities have adopted to deal with the problem.〔Mansnerus, Laura. ("Great Haven for Families, but Don't Bring Children" ), ''The New York Times'' August 13, 2003. Accessed June 10, 2013. "That describes Lopatcong, near Interstate 78 at the state's western edge. As farms gave way to subdivisions of single-family houses, the population rose to 6,991 in 2002 from 5,765 in 2000. Enrollment at the town's elementary school was 503 in 1995 and 755 in 2001, and it is expected to reach 900 this fall, when a new middle school will open."〕
==History==
What is now Lopatcong Township was created as Phillipsburg Township on March 7, 1851, by an act approved by the New Jersey Legislature from portions of Greenwich Township and Harmony Township. After Phillipsburg was incorporated as an independent municipality on March 8, 1861, the township changed its name to Lopatcong as of March 18, 1863, after a creek in the area.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 247. Accessed September 21, 2012.〕〔Snell, James P. (1881) ''History of Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey, With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of its Prominent Men and Pioneers''. (Centennial ed., Harmony, NJ: Harmony Press, 1981) p.682〕
The name of the creek and township — Lopatcong — came from four words of the Lenni Lenape Native Americans — ''Lowan peek achtu onk,'' which meant "winter watering place for deer".〔Poncavage, Joanna. ("Lenape language Legacy; In towns, creeks and more, Indian nation left its mark on our region" ), ''The Morning Call'', November 14, 2008. Accessed September 21, 2012. "LOPATCONG - From Lenape words: Lowan peek achtu onk Meaning: Winter water place for deer"〕〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed September 3, 2015.〕
