What is now Lawrence Township was originally formed asMaidenhead Township on February 20, 1697, while the area was still part ofBurlington County inWest Jersey on the eastern boundary of the Province Line (on the other side of which wasEast Jersey). The township was named by the earlyQuaker settlers afterMaidenhead, aThames River village west ofLondon.
In 1698,Puritan settlers fromLong Island andConnecticut came to Maidenhead and were granted land and established a Presbyterian church. A meetinghouse was erected on the site of the present Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville in the early 1700s. A record from 1709 indicates that it was used both for a meeting of the Presbytery of Philadelphia and for a session of the Hunterdon County Court. The present structure was built in 1764.
In 1810, the seventh minister of the church, Isaac V. Brown, began the Maidenhead Academy to prepare young men for college. This school is now theLawrenceville School.
On January 24, 1816, the municipality was renamed Lawrence Township, in honor of CaptainJames Lawrence—commander of the frigateUSS Chesapeake, one of the naval heroes of theWar of 1812, and a native of relatively nearbyBurlington, New Jersey—best known for his dying command of "Don't give up the ship".[25] Lawrence Township became part of Mercer County at its creation on February 22, 1838.

Lawrence Township had been the site of what was called the "abrupt ending" ofInterstate 95. This was a result from politics in Somerset County that eliminated a planned connection of theSomerset Freeway toInterstate 287. Originally, when drivers travelled along I-95 north while approaching the interchange for U.S. Route 1, the 95 designation abruptly ended and the highway turned southward and became Interstate 295. Drivers wishing to continue north were required to use an alternate route, either by taking US 1 north, or continue along Interstate 295 south toInterstate 195 east and to theNew Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95) at Exit 7A inRobbinsville Township.[133] This portion of interstate (between the Hopewell Township border and U.S. 1) was renumbered from I-95 to I-295 in May 2018.[134]
