Tavistock is a borough in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population was 5,[5][6][7] reflecting a decline of 19 (-79.2%) from the 24 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 11 (-31.4%) from the 35 counted in the 1990 Census.[16] As of the 2010 Census it was the smallest municipality by population in New Jersey, with seven fewer residents than nearby Pine Valley, which had 12.[17]

Tavistock was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 16, 1921, from portions of the now-defunct Centre Township.[18]

The borough was formed for the purpose of allowing the members of Tavistock Country Club the ability to play golf on Sundays. This was prohibited at the Haddon Country Club which was governed by a local blue law prohibiting sporting activities on Sundays.[19] Tavistock's secession from Haddonfield, New Jersey, the original site of the club, is said to have been driven by the fact that Haddonfield was (and remains) a dry borough, though Tavistock was formed in 1921 during Prohibition when liquor would have been banned.[20][21]

Local government

Tavistock operates under the Walsh Act commission form of New Jersey municipal government. Three non-partisan commissioners are elected at-large to concurrent four-year terms of office. Each commissioner is assigned a specific department to head in addition to their legislative functions.[2] Tavistock has been governed under the Walsh Act by a three-member commission, since 1928.[29]

As of 2014, Tavistock's commissioners are Mayor John J. Aglialoro, Joan P. Carter and Thomas I. Grimac, all serving concurrent terms of office ending December 31, 2017.[1][30][31]

One seat is currently vacant after Senator Bob Menendez (Englewood Cliffs) resigned on August 20, 2024.[38][39][40]

For the 2024-2025 session, the 6th legislative district of the New Jersey Legislature is represented in the State Senate by James Beach (D, Voorhees Township) and in the General Assembly by Louis Greenwald (D, Voorhees Township) and Pamela Rosen Lampitt (D, Cherry Hill).[41] Template:NJ Governor

Camden County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners composed of seven members chosen at-large in partisan elections for three-year terms on a staggered basis by the residents of the county, with either two or three seats up for election each year as part of the November general election. At a reorganization meeting held in January after each election, the newly constituted Board of Commissioners selects one member to serve as Director and another as Deputy Director, each serving a one-year term in that role.[42] As of 2024, Camden County's Commissioners are: Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. (D, Collingswood, 2026),[43] Commissioner Deputy Director Edward T. McDonnell (D, Pennsauken Township, 2025),[44] Virginia Ruiz Betteridge (D, Runnemede, 2025),[45] Almar Dyer (D, Pennsauken Township, 2024),[46] Melinda Kane (D, Cherry Hill, 2024),[47] Jeffrey L.
