("More towns catching liquor-license buzz; Moorestown considers ending its dry spell" ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', June 24, 2007. Accessed February 16, 2014.〕 ==History== Port Republic was settled as early as 1637, but a charter was not applied for until the founders Evi Smith, Hugh McCullum, and Richard Wescoat applied for a Royal charter to build a dam, sawmill, and gristmill on their land along Nacote Creek.〔Laurie, Maxine N.; and Mappen, Marc. ("Port Republic" ), p. 650. ''Encyclopedia of New Jersey'': Rutgers University Press; 2004/2005. ISBN 9780813533254. Accessed October 24, 2013.〕 In its early days, Port Republic was known as Wrangleboro.〔(Formation of the Township ), Weymouth Township. Accessed April 6, 2008.〕 During the American Revolutionary War, Port Republic provided refuge to the residents of the nearby community of Chestnut Neck when the British Army, arriving by ship, sacked their town on October 6, 1778. It had been used as a base by privateers who were capturing goods intended for British forces.〔(List of Battles during the Revolutionary War ), Ohio Society, Sons of the American Revolution, Columbus, Ohio〕 Among the refugees was Daniel Mathis, a tavernkeeper who built the Franklin Inn in Port Republic, which is used as a private house today. Some of the British ships were trapped in the creek by the ebb tides.〔 The General Lafayette Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a monument on October 6, 1911, to mark the site of the Battle of Chestnut Neck. A Continental Army soldier at the top of the monument faces the river, "guarding the shore" against the approaching enemy.〔Nordheimer, Jon. ("PORT REPUBLIC JOURNAL; Where the Biggest News Is Something From 1778" ), ''The New York Times'', May 6, 1993. Accessed November 19, 2013. "The battle monument was erected in 1911 by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The highway was rerouted in the 1920's, however, so the soldier under the tricornered hat at the top has his back to Route 9."〕 In 1842, an effort was made to rename the area from Wrangleborough to Unionville, with a post office to be established under that name. As another Unionville existed in the state, the name "Port Republic" was chosen.〔(Port Republic Historic District ), Living Places. Accessed September 21, 2015. "In 1842, Samuel Van Sant petitioned the townspeople to change the name to Unionville. This name was changed to Port Republic when a post office was located in the town, because there was already another town named Unionville."〕 Port Republic was incorporated as a city by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 1, 1905, from portions of Galloway Township.〔Snyder, John P.
