Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. -- and the values he stood for: service, compassion, and community.
MLK Day is often called a day "on", not a day "off" -- a reminder that for some, this day is a chance to give back in ways that feel meaningful to them.
If you’re interested in getting involved or volunteering, you can find service opportunities of all kinds at globalcitizen365.org/kingday/.
Please note: Municipal offices will be CLOSED today in observance of the holiday.
However you spend the day, we honor Dr. King by showing up for one another.

Big hometown energy! Out of more than 2,000 submissions, the winning name for Trenton’s new pro ice hockey team came from two local fans -- including Bordentown resident Joel Perez. Joel and fellow fan Jim Miller of Lawrenceville both submitted Trenton Ironhawks, earning each of them a season ticket membership for the 2026–2027 season. Huge congrats to both winners -- proof that local voices really do shape the teams we cheer for.
Did you miss it? If you weren’t able to make it to our free rabies clinic this weekend at Northern Community Park, don’t worry — there are still options available.

January is Dog Licensing Month in Bordentown Township!
If you have a dog that’s 7 months or older, licenses are required each year -- and January is the time to renew.
We’re also hosting a FREE Rabies Vaccination Clinic for residents:
Saturday, January 10, 2026
1:00–2:30 PM
Northern Community Park (Groveville Road)
Dog licenses run on a calendar year (January 1–December 31). Renewals can be done throughout January, and new licenses are available year-round. To renew, you’ll just need a current rabies certificate, proof of spay/neuter if applicable, and the licensing fee.
Licenses can be completed by mail or in person through the Township Clerk’s Office. (If you’re renewing by mail, a self-addressed stamped envelope is appreciated.)
License fees:
$10 for spayed/neutered dogs
$13 for non-spayed/non-neutered dogs
A $5 late fee applies to renewals after January 31.
Thanks for helping keep Bordentown’s pets and community safe -- and give your pup an extra treat for us!

This weekend felt BIG — the kind of moment you pause for and take in.
In Bordentown Township, Aneka Miller was sworn in as our first Black Mayor, a milestone built on years of showing up, serving, and caring deeply about this community.
At the same time, Stephanie Lagos, Jennifer Sciortino, and Grace Archer took the oath of office, making history as Bordentown City’s first all-women Board of Commissioners and beginning their four-year terms.
Two milestones. One community. A shared sense of pride in how far we’ve come — and where we’re going.
This is a moment worth celebrating. Here’s to Bordentown, and a historic start to 2026.
If staying informed is on your 2026 to-do list, we’ve got you covered.
