Lumberton Township is a township in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 12,559,[7][8][9] reflecting an increase of 2,098 (+20.1%) from the 10,461 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 3,756 (+56.0%) from the 6,705 counted in the 1990 Census.[18]

Lumberton was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 14, 1860, from portions of Medford Township, Southampton Township and Eastampton Township. Portions of the township were taken on March 12, 1924, to form Hainesport.[19] The township was named for its early lumber industry, with pine trees cut down to supply wood used in Philadelphia.[20][21]

In March 2007, Lumberton was identified as having the most active community of EBay buyers and sellers on a per-capita basis in the United States, with 46,000 items posted on the site over a three-week period by members based in the Lumberton ZIP code 08048.[22][23]

History

The history of some of the homes in Lumberton date back to the times of slavery. One such home, still located on Creek Road in the township, has been documented as having been a site on the underground railroad. The home was originally built by D.B. Cole in 1824. The deed to the land where the home sits dates back to 1806 when the Coles purchased the land from the Moores of Moorestown. The story goes, and has been documented Charles Blockson's Hippocrene Guide to the Underground Railroad, that a fake well that once rested in the backyard of the house served as a chute for slaves to slide down in order to hide from their slavemasters as they fled to Canada.[24]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 13.056 square miles (33.817 km2), including 12.924 square miles (33.474 km2) of land and 0.132 square miles (0.343 km2) of water (1.01%).[1][2]
