Overview and metadata sections

A meeting for worship known as "Northampton" was organized by Burlington Monthly Meeting in 1684. A preparative meeting was established before 1762. In 1776, the name of the meeting was changed to "Mount Holly." After the Hicksite separation of 1827, the preparative meeting split into Hicksite and Orthodox branches.

In 1828, Mount Holly Preparative Meeting (Orthodox) was transferred to Burlington Monthly Meeting. The preparative meeting was discontinued in 1904, and its members transferred to Burlington Preparative Meeting (Orthodox). The meeting for worship was discontinued in 1912, and an indulged meeting was established at Mount Holly. This meeting was active until 1929.

Mount Holly Preparative Meeting (Hicksite) was discontinued in 1894.
