Cherry Hill is a township in Camden County, New Jersey, in the United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a population of 71,045,[8][9][10] reflecting an increase of 1,080 (+1.5%) from the 69,965 counted in the 2000 Census.[18] As of 2010, the township was the state's 15th most-populous municipality and the second-largest in Camden County (behind the city of Camden, the county seat), after having been the state's 13th most-populous municipality as of the 2000 Census.[19]

Cherry Hill is situated in the Delaware Valley coastal plain, approximately eight miles (11 km) southeast of Philadelphia. Cherry Hill is considered an edge city of Philadelphia.[20]

History

The area now known as Cherry Hill was originally settled by the Lenni-Lenape Native Americans who coexisted peacefully with the first settlers from England, namely Quaker followers of William Penn who arrived in the late 17th century.[21] The first settlement was a small cluster of homes named Colestown, in the perimeters of what is now the Colestown Cemetery on the corner of Route 41 (King's Highway) and Church Road. The municipality was founded on February 25, 1844, in Gloucester County as Delaware Township from half of the area of Waterford Township, and became part of Camden County at its creation some two weeks later on March 13, 1844.[22] At its territorial peak, Delaware Township was composed of modern-day North Camden, present-day Cherry Hill, Merchantville, and Pennsauken (including Petty's Island in the Delaware River). Portions of the township were taken to form Stockton Township (February 23, 1859) and Merchantville (March 3, 1874).[22]

The township's population grew rapidly after World War II, and continued to increase until the 1980s. Today, the municipality's population is stable with new development generally occurring in pockets of custom luxury houses or through the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of commercial and industrial areas.

Origin of the name

Cherry Hill was a 19th-century farm on Kaighn Avenue / Route 38, owned by Abraham Browning. The farm property later became the Cherry Hill Inn (now a movie theater complex), as well as an office campus (now a shopping center with big-box retailers), and today's Cherry Hill Towers and Cherry Hill Estates housing developments.[23]

Adding to the prevalence of the Cherry Hill name, developer Eugene Mori branded several properties using the name, including the Cherry Hill Inn and Cherry Hill Lodge hotels, Cherry Hill Apartments, and Cherry Hill Estates.[24] Cherry Hill Shopping Center (now known as Cherry Hill Mall) opened in 1961 opposite the old Cherry Hill Farm site, featuring 75 stores within a single enclosed space.[25]

In time, the township also sought a new post office, but another New Jersey municipality was using the name Delaware Township. The postal service insisted on a name change, suggesting "Deltown", and Delaware Township mayors Christian Weber and John Gilmour pursued public write-in campaigns to select possible titles, from suggestions that included Chapel Hill, Cherry Valley and Delaware City.[26] The name "Cherry Hill" was chosen by the township's citizens in a non-binding referendum in 1961, and was officially adopted November 7, 1961.[22]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 24.244 square miles (62.792 km2), including 24.097 square miles (62.410 km2) of land and 0.147 square miles (0.382 km2) of water (0.61%),[6][17]

Ashland (2010 population of 8,302[27]), Barclay (4,428[28]), Cherry Hill Mall (14,171[29]), Ellisburg (4,413[30]), Golden Triangle (4,145[31]), Greentree (11,367[32]), Kingston Estates (5,685[33]) and Springdale (14,518[34]) are unincorporated communities and census designated places (CDPs) located within the township.[35]

Other unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Coffins Corner, Colwick, Cooperstown, Deer Park, Erlton, Freeman, Huttons Hill, Locust Grove, Orchard and Woodcrest.[36]

The township's eastern border with Burlington County is defined by the Pennsauken Creek. The creek separates Cherry Hill from the communities of Maple Shade Township, Evesham Township (and its Marlton neighborhood), and Mount Laurel Township.

The Cooper River forms the southern border with Haddon Township, Haddonfield Borough, and Lawnside Borough, through the Maria Barnaby Greenwald Park and parallel to the east-west Route 70.

To the north, Cherry Hill borders Merchantville Borough and Pennsauken Township, while Voorhees Township shares its southern border along County Route 544 (Evesham Road).

Climate

Cherry Hill has a humid subtropical climate, with cool to cold winters and hot, humid summers.

Emergency services

Police

The Cherry Hill Police Department (CHPD) is the third largest police department in the tri-county area. It employs over 130 sworn officers as well as 21 civilians.

TRT responds to requests for mutual aid throughout the tri-county area as needed. CHPD is home to its own 9-1-1 public safety answering point (PSAP), when a resident of the township dials 9-1-1 they are routed directly to the CHPD, which provides a significant advantage in response time to the caller, the 9-1-1 center is the hub of the department's 800 MHz trunked radio system, as well as an advanced CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) system, and RMS (Records Management System). Both systems work together to provide patrol units up to date information directly to their patrol car computers. CHPD's Community Policing Unit provides many services for residents including child fingerprinting, neighborhood watches, and drug & alcohol awareness seminars.[73]

Government

Local government

Created as Delaware Township in 1844, the community was first governed by a Township Committee. On May 19, 1951, the citizens adopted, in a special election, a Walsh Act Commission form of government, consisting of a three-member Board of Commissioners. In 1962, the Township's population passed the 30,000 mark and two additional Commissioners were elected. Following a study made by a Citizen's Advisory Committee, a special election was held in 1962.[86] The township voted to change its form of government to the Council-Manager Plan A under the Faulkner Act. Five Council members were elected at-large in a May election to serve concurrent four-year terms. The Council members elected one of their own as Mayor, and a Township Manager served as the Chief Administrator of the Township.[86]

By 1975, after a Charter Study Commission report and the passage of a ballot referendum, the township adopted the Council-Manager Plan B form of government. Two features of the government were changed: council members were to be elected every two years for overlapping terms of four years and the number of Council members would increase from five to seven.[86]

After a 1981 referendum, the government changed yet again, this time to a Mayor-Council Plan B form of government. A full-time 'strong' mayor was elected directly by the people and seven Council members were elected at-large for staggered four-year terms, with either three or four seats up for election every other year.[5][86] After the passage of a ballot referendum in November 1986, voting or the mayor and council was shifted from a non-partisan May election to a partisan November election.[86]

As of 2015, the Mayor of Cherry Hill is Democrat Charles M. "Chuck" Cahn, whose term of office ends December 31, 2015.[3] Members of the Township Council are Council President David Fleisher (D, 2017), Council Vice President Sara Lipsett (D, 2015), Susan Shin Angulo (D, 2017), Jim Bannar (D, 2017), Brian Bauerle (D, 2015; serving an unexpired term), Melinda Kane (D, 2015) and Carole Roskoph (D, 2017).[87][88][89][90]

N. John Amato, whose 30 years of service made him the township's longest-serving councilmember, died in office in September 2014.[91] At a special council meeting in October 2014, Brian Bauerle was selected to fill Amato's seat, which expires in December 2015.[92]

Public library

The Cherry Hill Public Library is an agency of the Township's municipal government. At 72,000 square feet (6,700 m2), Cherry Hill's library is among the largest municipal libraries in New Jersey. The current facility was completed in December 2004 to replace the 1966 Malcolm Wells-designed structure at 1100 King's Highway North.[93]
