Hainesport Township is a township in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 6,035,[8][9] a decline of 75 (-1.2%) from the 2010 census enumeration of 6,110,[18][19] in turn reflecting an increase of 1,984 (+48.1%) from the 4,126 counted in the 2000 census.[20] The township, and all of Burlington County, is a part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[21]

History

[edit]

The Lenape Native Americans who settled on the banks of the Rancocas Creek in what is present-day Hainesport called the area Sandhickney.[22] The first European settlers were Quakers who arrived in 1677.[22]

The town was known as Long Bridge around the time of the American Revolutionary War. The name came from the long, wooden bridge that spanned the Rancocas Creek.[23] In 1778, the township was the site of a skirmish in which American rebels fired upon Hessian soldiers after they were halted by the dismantling of this bridge.[24][25]

The settlement became known as Haines' Port when Barclay Haines bought property in the area and established a pier near his home on the Rancocas Creek[24][26] in 1848. By 1850, the name was shortened to Hainesport. Hainesport Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 12, 1924, from portions of Lumberton.[27]

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 6.79 square miles (17.59 km2), including 6.47 square miles (16.76 km2) of land and 0.32 square miles (0.83 km2) of water (4.71%).[1][2]
