Evesham

Evesham Township, part of Burlington County, New Jersey, was established in 1688. The geography of the township has always differed substantially from south to north; the southern portion, part of the pinelands, has remained largely covered with pines and oaks due to the earth of gravelly loam while the northern area, with arable soil, has been introduced to agriculture, commerce, industry and substantial residential development. The northern part of Evesham continues to grow, linked closely to transportation routes to New York and Philadelphia.
