Burlington County - Quick Home Search
This large county extends from the Delaware River to the Great bay on the Atlantic Ocean. It is the largest county in New Jersey--covering 827 square miles. The estimated population of Burlington County was 432,121 as of 2001. The county offers farmland, industry, open space and plenty of neighborhoods all within 30 minutes of Philadelphia. More Burlington County acres are devoted to farming than any other county in the state, producing sweet corn and fruit. The county runs a close second to timber land in the state. Burlington County is well-known for its fine school systems. Each year sees the addition of several state-of-the-art schools to the region. Open Space is also considered vitally important to residents of the County. Almost 60 percent of it is considered Pinelands and is protected from any type of development. A dozen state and local parks offer outdoor recreational activities including fishing, canoeing, picnicking, hiking and camping. Burlington County truly is a special place to live.
Cinnaminson-Quick Cinnaminson Search
Cinnaminson, NJ is an established suburban community located directly across the Delaware River from the far Northeast sections of Philadelphia. According to the 2000 census, 14,575 people call Cinnaminson their home.
The skyline of Philadelphia can be easily seen from Cinnaminson and it is a 20-minute trip to the downtown section of the city. Yet Cinnaminson still has two active farms where many types of fruits and vegetables are grown and sold locally. A unique combination of a suburban and farm environments awaits any potential resident. One might ask, "Why such a peculiar community name?" Cinnaminson's name is a variation of a Lenni-Lenape Indian word "Senamensing" which means "sweet water". It appears this word is in reference to a group of sugar maple trees, which once grew along the Delaware River within what is now Cinnaminson. There is an extensive industrial complex within Cinnaminson, which includes glass manufacturing, manufacturing of powdered iron products as well as precision manufacturing of hard disc actuator arms. We are proud of our industrial residents and welcome additional industries to consider settling within our 7.4 square mile community. Cinnaminson is a proud and diverse community, which is an ideal location to work and live.

Lumberton-Quick Lumberton Search
Lumberton or as it was once known, Lumbertown, was a pioneer settlement. Its name came from the fact that Pine trees were abundant in the vicinity and boats and rafts carried lumber and cord wood from the Rancocas Creek to Philadelphia and other places. There were two or three lumber yards and saw mills at one time. Lumberton was incorporated by an Act of the New Jersey Assembly on March 14, 1860. The town was a hub of commerce and transportation. All types of boats were using the creek - canoes, rafts, shunkus, sloops, and barges. In 1855, steamboats appeared on the creek. The first was believed to be the "Wave", then came the "Barclay", which was built in Lumberton and made her last trip in 1870. Both of these boats were side-wheelers. The "Minerva" was a tugboat that also mad regular trips to Philadelphia carrying all sorts of cargo from farm produce to ironware. As of the 2000 Census, the population was over 10,000 residents. It is a township known for its community feeling, neighborhood schools, parks and recreation.
Marlton-Quick Marlton Search
Evesham is also known as Marlton. Marlton is a name commonly associated and interchangeable with the name Evesham. The name Marlton came about in the early 19th century. Marlton stems from the name "Marl". Marl is a naturally occurring mixture of green clay with remnants of shells that was used as a fertilizer, like manure. Its discovery helped local commerce and fueled the first "building boom", which took place in the 1830s and 1840s. Taking a stroll down historic Main Street evokes images of the past—including Victorian-era homes, brick sidewalks and even an old clock tower. But for those with more modern tastes, new shopping areas with upscale boutiques are just around the corner. Evesham Township also offers the Marlton Recreation Center on Tuckerton Road. Families can take advantage of athletic fields, a gym and a huge fort playground. The public Indian Spring Golf Course is a 150-acre championship course and includes a clubhouse—which is host to both casual dining and the most elegant wedding. Because of its combination of rural atmosphere and modern conveniences, Marlton has become a desirable location for people of all ages.
Medford-Quick Medford Search
Small Town Escapes (published in 2000) hails Medford as one of this country’s “small town treasures” and residents agree. It’s a small community with a big sense of tradition. The downtown historic district has become a mecca for antique collectors and small boutiques, and new shops open all the time. Numerous festivities, including the Dickens Festival in December and the Festival of Art in June, attract visitors from all over the County. The township has excellent holiday programs, including parades for Halloween and the Fourth of July, and fireworks on the Fourth of July in Freedom Park. Adding to the charm of the downtown district is the wide variety of housing available—one can find a home on many acres of farmland, privacy on a wooded lot, or close-knit community with parks and streetlights. With its historic downtown, plus rural charm and a neighborhood atmosphere, Medford Township continues to be a small town escape.

Camden County - Quick Home Search
"Let it be remembered," wrote Thomas Sharp in 1718, "That upon the nineteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and eighty-one, Mark Newby, William Bates, Thomas Thackara, George Goldsmith and Thomas Sharp set sail from the harbor...of Dublin...We took our land in tract together...bounding in the forks of Newton Creek and so over to Cooper's Creek..." Sharp's narrative account of the first permanent European settlement in what is today West Collingswood is the most accurate history of the establishment of Camden County.
In 1926, President Calvin Coolidge dedicated the Delaware River Bridge, later renamed for Benjamin Franklin. It opened the way for commuters to work in Philadelphia and live in the Camden suburbs. A second bridge, the Walt Whitman, opened 31 years later, connecting Philadelphia and Gloucester City. In 1976, the Betsy Ross Bridge, linking Philadelphia and Pennsauken, opened to traffic.
These routes and the development of high-speed rail transportation between Camden and Philadelphia helped to push the county's population over the half-million mark. This, combined with a broad economic and industrial base, several centers for higher education, three major hospitals, and an excellent interstate road system and connections, offer a bright future for the county.
The 37 municipalities of Camden County make up population numbers of over 500,000 people. The County offers great community programs and access to public transportation.
