Chesterfield Township, New Jersey

Chesterfield Township is a township in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township’s population was 7,699,[8][9][10] reflecting an increase of 1,744 (+29.3%) from the 5,955 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 803 (+15.6%) from the 5,152 counted in the 1990 Census.[18]

Chesterfield has permanently preserved more than 7,000 acres (2,800 ha) of farmland through state and county programs and a township-wide transfer of development credits program that directs future growth to a designated “receiving area” known as Old York Village, which is a neo-traditional, New Urbanism community built on 560 acres (230 ha) incorporating a variety of housing types, neighborhood commercial facilities, a new elementary school, civic uses, and active and passive open space areas with preserved agricultural land surrounding the planned village. Construction began in the early 2000s and a significant percentage of the community is now complete. As of 2016 the construction is still ongoing and there is soon to be Chesterfield’s first retail outlet, along with more condos and homes. Old York Village was the winner of the American Planning Association’s National Outstanding Planning Award in 2004.[19][20][21]

The land was first settled in 1677, when a group of primarily Quaker immigrants from England established the settlement of Crosswicks, the oldest of the three communities of the township. The village was named after the Crosswicks Creek that separates Burlington and Mercer counties.[22] The other two villages were Recklesstown (now Chesterfield) and Plattsburg (now Sykesville).[23] Recklesstown was named in honor of one of its founders, Joseph Reckless, until the community’s name was changed in 1888 at the urging of a Congressman and local resident in the face of public scorn.[24]
