Moorestown, New Jersey

Moorestown is a township in Burlington County, New Jersey. It is an eastern suburb of Philadelphia and geographically part of the South Jersey region. As of the 2010 U.S. census, the township’s population was 20,726,[9][10][11] reflecting an increase of 1,709 (+9.0%) from the 19,017 counted in the 2000 census, which had in turn increased by 2,901 (+18.0%) from the 16,116 counted in the 1990 census.[20]

Moorestown was authorized to be incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 11, 1922, from portions of Chester Township (now Maple Shade Township), subject to the approval of voters in the affected area in a referendum. Voters approved the creation on April 25, 1922.[21][22] The township is named for a Thomas Moore who settled in the area in 1722 and constructed a hotel[23] though other sources attribute the name to poet Thomas Moore.[24]

Chester Township had banned all liquor sales in 1915, and Moorestown retained the restrictions for more than 70 years after Prohibition ended in 1933. Referenda aiming to repeal the ban failed in both 1935 and 1953. In 2007, the township council approved a referendum that would allow the sale by auction of six liquor licenses (the state limit of one per every 3,000 residents), with estimates that each license could sell over $1 million each.[25] The referendum did not receive enough votes to pass. In 2011, voters repealed the liquor ban; however, liquor sales in the township will be restricted to the Moorestown Mall.[26]
