Township is located in the geographical center
of Atlantic County, about eight miles west of Atlantic City. There are
two major highways which cross inside our township: The Garden State Parkway
(north to south through New Jersey) and the Atlantic City Expressway (from
Philadelphia to Atlantic City, west to east). Other major roads which go
