Municipality of the Day: Pemberton, NJ: Early settlers were attracted to the Township chiefly because of water resources available from the North Branch of Rancocas Creek. The Township became a legal entity on March 10, 1846 and was comprised of land which belonged to other townships. The Townships borders went through many changes from the time of its establishment through 1967, when more land was annexed from a neighboring borough. Within its sixty five (65) square miles today may be found numerous smaller communities, among them Birmingham, Browns Mills, Magnolia, New Lisbon and Whitesbog. The United States Armys Fort Dix, built during the First World War and rebuilt and expanded for use during the Second World War, lies within the Townships boundaries. The Townships current population is estimated to be approximately 28, 691.
