On April 1, 1861, South Orange Township (now Maplewood) was formed from portions of Clinton Township and Orange.[7]
Irvington was formed as an independent village as of March 27, 1874, and became fully independent as a town on March 2, 1898.[7] The town's Clinton Cemetery, opened in 1844, refers to the earlier name.
What remained of the old township was absorbed into Newark on March 5, 1902, based on the results of a referendum held on March 11, 1902.[7] The area is now part of the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Newark.

"Clinton was formed from Elizabethtown, Newark and Orange in 1834. Its length is about four miles and breadth about two and a half miles. South Orange and Newark lies on the north of it, and Newark is also on its east, while the township of Union, in Union county, is on its south, and South Orange on the west. Camptown was a flourishing village about three and a half miles from Newark containing about fifty dwellings and three churches Presbyterian Episcopal and what was called a Free Church. The name was derived from the fact that during the Revolutionary war the American army was for some time encamped here. The population of the township in 1850 was 2,508; in 1860, 3,659; and in 1870, 2,240."
