The original portion of City Hall was erected in accordance with an act of the Provincial Assembly in 1713. It served as the capitol of the Province and the State of New Jersey from 1713 to 1790, as the courthouse of Middlesex County from 1713 to 1793, and as the city hall of Perth Amboy from 1718. The building was rebuilt in 1766-67, enlarged and remodelled in 1871-72, with George W. Merger as architect, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1981, in the year of the three-hundredth anniversary of Perth Amboy, founded in 1683.
