Bowentown is a small place in New Jersey, a state in the United States. It's not a city or a town with its own government. Instead, it's called an unincorporated community. This means it's part of a larger area called Hopewell Township in Cumberland County.
You can find Bowentown west of a bigger town called Bridgeton. The name "Bowentown" comes from the Bowen family. They were one of the very first families to settle in Hopewell Township.
