## History[edit | edit source]

Mount Ephraim was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 23, 1926, from portions of the now-defunct Centre Township. The boroughs of Bellmawr, Runnemede and Lawnside were simultaneously created during the same two-day period.[22] The borough was named for Ephraim Albertson, who owned a tavern in the area in the early 1800s.[23][24]

In a 1981 decision in Schad v. Mount Ephraim, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a decision authored for the majority by Associate Justice Byron White, the court decided by a 7–2 margin to overturn the convictions of the two owners of a bookstore where there was nude dancing, despite a prohibition against all forms of live entertainment in the borough's zoning ordinance. The decision cited the First Amendment rights of the storeowners.[25][26]

## Geography[edit | edit source]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 0.91 square miles (2.34 km2), including 0.88 square miles (2.29 km2) of land and 0.02 square miles (0.05 km2) of water (2.31%).[1][2]

## Municipal merger proposal[edit | edit source]

In January 2014, New Jersey State Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney put forward a proposal which would lower real estate taxes in the state and cut state expenses by merging many of the states 566 municipalities. Mount Ephraim is the 29th largest town in Camden County, so it is very likely that the town will be merged with neighboring municipalities to cut costs, share expenses, reduce bureaucracy, share resources, and reduce the burden in the taxpayers and the state itself. Mount Ephraim was formerly part of Centre Township, which included all of the neighboring communities, and it is possible that the name may be used again in the future if the merger proposal goes forward.[77]
