Washington Township

Washington Township is an administrative division in Gloucester County and encompasses residential neighborhoods and municipal facilities across a wide rural area. The township administration handles local services and community development for residents.

The township emerged from early settlement patterns and established local governance structures for management and development. This organizational approach shaped how rural areas in the region are administered.

Monthly community gatherings, including Coffee & Conversation sessions and Veterans Day ceremonies, connect residents with township supervisors and fellow community members.

The township office provides access to basic services such as property records, zoning permits, and waste management information. Residents and visitors can address municipal questions directly at this location.

The township maintains 36 distinct sections of land, each measuring one square mile, following the Public Land Survey System grid pattern.
