Washington 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 693,[7] an increase of 6 (+0.9%) from the 2010 census count of 687,[15][16] which in turn reflected an increase of 66 (+10.6%) from the 621 counted in the 2000 census.[17] The township, and all of Burlington County, is a part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[18]

Washington was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on November 19, 1802, from portions of Evesham Township, Little Egg Harbor Township and Northampton Township (now known as Mount Holly Township, New Jersey). Portions of the township were taken to form Shamong Township (February 19, 1852), Bass River Township (March 30, 1864), Woodland Township (March 7, 1866) and Randolph Township (March 17, 1870, reannexed to Washington Township on March 28, 1893).[19][20] The township was named for George Washington, one of more than ten communities statewide named for the first president.[21][22] It is one of five municipalities in the state of New Jersey with the name "Washington Township".[23] Another municipality, Washington Borough, is completely surrounded by Washington Township, Warren County.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 104.81 square miles (271.46 km2), including 101.66 square miles (263.30 km2) of land and 3.15 square miles (8.16 km2) of water (3.01%).[1][2]

The township borders Bass River Township, Shamong Township, Tabernacle Township and Woodland Township in Burlington County; and Egg Harbor City, Galloway Township, Hammonton, Mullica Township and Port Republic in Atlantic County.[24][25][26] The Mullica River forms most of the township's southwestern border with Atlantic County, while the Wading and Oswego Rivers form most of its eastern boundary with Bass River Township.
