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.
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.
Medford Lakes-Quick Medford Lakes Search
Within the borders of Medford exists a small lake community, the Borough of Medford Lakes. As the name suggests, water can be found at every turn. The Borough is nestled among 21 lakes in the pines. What started as a vacation community almost 100 years ago now is home to year-round residents who enjoy the recreational activities the lakes have to offer. The borough was first settled by the Lenni-Lenape Indians, and all streets and trails are named after various Native-American tribes. Medford Lakes' rustic setting allows it to be a suburban wonder in the pines.
Moorestown-Quick Moorestown Search
Charm and history make Moorestown stand out among townships in this County. The streets are populated with Victorian-era homes and hundred year-old trees. Thomas Moore and his wife Elizabeth settled here in 1722 and in 1732, Moore purchased 33 acres of land on the north side of The King's Highway. Mr. Moore set up a hotel on the northwest corner of The King’s Highway and Union Streets. With so much land eventually being owned by Thomas Moore, the name Moorestown gradually replaced Chester. Moorestown is also known for its school system. Besides the thoroughly equipped public school, there are the Academy and the High School, under the control of the two branches of the Friends’ Society. A well provided library offers excellent opportunities to intelligent readers and current literature, in the shape of the daily newspapers, magazines and the latest new books, is obtainable at any time.
Mount Laurel- Quick Mount Laurel Search
Located directly off of the 295 corridor, this township has been home to an increasing number of newly built neighborhoods and business alike. It is one of the capitals of new construction in Burlington County. Businesses, including shopping and restaurants—flock here. In the 1990s, the township experienced enormous growth in population and has kept up with demand. The schools and parks help to make this community family and professional friendly—with just a short commute to Philly or North Jersey.
Shamong- Quick Shamong Search
Shamong hit a growth spurt in the 1970s when a wave of families relocated to its quiet, secluded neighborhoods to get away from urban life. The township, also known as Indian Mills, is contained entirely within the Pinelands preservation area. It is made up of farms and homes constructed on large parcels and wooded lots. Privacy is a major draw for the community. Indian Mills Lake and Atsion Lake offer all types of water recreation—including canoeing, swimming, camping and fishing.
Southampton- Quick Southampton Search
From its inception, this township has focused on agriculture, and it is still a farm-centered town. The landscape is primarily flat, featuring working farm fields, and green pastures. This is a township where one can pick fresh blueberries in the spring and admire a sea of cranberries being harvested during the fall. Few businesses have made their way here, but historic village in Vincentown is the quintessential early American Main Street. In fact, the village is listed on the national historic registry. Vincentown is a place where postcard houses, Victorian street lamps and baskets of exuberantly purple petunias announce we've come to someplace special. Southampton is sparsely populated; nearly one-third of its residents live in Leisuretowne—a popular retirement community. Residents in this small town pride themselves on keeping things they way they are or have been—no big developments are on the horizon.
Tabernacle- Quick Tabernacle Search
This older township covers a lot of land and is home to many new residents and homes. Many of the newer residents have moved here to enjoy the rural atmosphere. Because of the increase in number of resident families, Lenape Regional School District just opened Seneca High School in Tabernacle. The town also has a rich sense of history—the Town Hall Municipal building dates back to 1874.
