Washington Township, now the largest community in Gloucester County, was first incorporated in 1836.

While it remained a farming community throughout the first half of the 20th century, during the 1950s modern housing developments began to replace the farms and peach orchards. The vintage photographs in Washington Township, Gloucester County have been compiled to serve as an archive and assist in preserving the townshipas rich history.
