Medford is a township in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 24,497, an increase of 1,464 (+6.4%) from the 2010 census count of 23,033, which in turn reflected an increase of 780 (+3.5%) from the 22,253 counted in the 2000 census.[13] The township, and all of Burlington County, is a part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[14]

Medford was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 1, 1847, from portions of Evesham Township, based on the results of a referendum held that day. Portions of the township were taken to form Shamong Township (February 19, 1852), Lumberton (March 14, 1860), and Medford Lakes (May 17, 1939).[15] The township is part of the South Jersey region of the state.

History

The area now known as Medford first saw European settlement when Samuel Coles purchased of land in 1670. Shortly after, the Braddock, Prickett, Stratton, Branin, and Wilkins families relocated to the area, many of whom have descendants living there today. The area, then known as Upper Evesham, gradually evolved from scattered homesteads into a small village. Numerous buildings and roads constructed between the land sale and the American Revolutionary War, including Oliphant's Mill, Christopher's Mill, and the Shamong Trail (now Stokes Road), still exist.

In 1820, the area officially became known as Medford of Upper Evesham with the opening of the post office. This name was advocated by Mark Reeve, a developer who had recently visited Medford, Massachusetts.[16] [17] On March 1, 1847, Medford Township was formally separated from Evesham Township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature.[15] The inaugural township meeting took place at the Cross Roads (County Route 541 and Church Road) on March 9, 1847, which remained the seat of township government for several years. Medford Township's boundaries changed over time, with parts taken to form Shamong Township in 1852 and Lumberton in 1860. The borders remained unchanged until 1939 when Medford Lakes was incorporated.[18]

As early as 1825, a thriving glass-making industry emerged in Medford, starting with a furnace that produced window panes. By 1850, William Porter ran a glass factory on a triangular property bordered by South Main Street, Mill Street, and Trimble Street. The factory, operating under names like Medford Glass Works and Star Glass throughout the 1880s, employed around 250 workers at its peak. It fostered a "company town" atmosphere, providing houses for owners, managers, and workers, and a company store where workers could exchange scrip for food and necessities. The glass-making operations ceased around 1925, and the factory was demolished by the mid-1940s. Today, nearly 30 workers' homes are well-maintained on Trimble Street and Mill Street, along with the owners' / managers' residence at 126 South Main Street and the company store at 132 South Main Street.[19]

Dr. James Still (1812–1882), a self-taught African-American physician known as "the Black Doctor of the Pines," resided and practiced in Medford. His home was demolished in 1932, but his office building was preserved when the State of New Jersey purchased it in 2006. It now serves as the Dr. James Still Historic Office Site and Education Center.[20]

Medford's position along the Camden and Atlantic Railroad facilitated trade, leading to rapid expansion in the post-Civil War years. However, by the 1920s, the rail line was dismantled, and the mill industry was waning. Despite this, Medford's growth continued due to its proximity to Philadelphia and Camden County, attracting many families seeking a more rural lifestyle away from the city.
