- Description
- Waterford township is a municipality in Camden County, New Jersey. It was originally established in Gloucester County in 1695 (before Camden County existed). Its eastern boundary was set in 1761. In 1844, Camden County broke off from Gloucester County, and Waterford became part of the new Camden County. The same year, part of Waterford was given to Delaware township (now Cherry Hill). Waterford gained land from Gloucester and Winslow townships in 1859. Waterford continued to spliter in the late 19th century: Chesilhurst borough was created in 1887, Voorhees township in 1899, and Berlin township in 1910. A section was also transferred to Burlington County in 1902.
