Evesham Township - "Marlton"
The township was originally larger than it is today; it also included what today are Mount Laural, Medford, Lumberton, Hainesport, Shamong, and Washington Townships. The south branch of the Rancocas on the east side and Cropwell Creek on the west side bound this area. Evesham is also known as Marlton. Marlton is a name commonly associated and interchangeable with the name Evesham. The name Marlton came about in the early 19th century. Marlton stems from the name "Marl." Marl is a naturally occurring mixture of green clay with remnants of shells that was used as fertilizer, like manure. Its discovery helped local commerce and fueled the first building boom which took place in the 1830s and 1840s. Marl continued to be mined locally until 1930, when the pits were finally closed. No trace of them remain today.
Today Evesham is a diverse community with a state of the art hospital, fire and police departments and quality municipal services. Many fine schools and recreational areas make Evesham great for the entire family.
