Burlington County is a county in the South Jersey region of the U.S. state of New Jersey. The county is the largest by land area in New Jersey and ranks second behind neighboring Ocean County in total area.[2] Its county seat is Mount Holly.[1] As of the 2020 census, the county was the state's 11th-most-populous county,[6] with a population of 461,860,[3][4] its highest decennial count ever and an increase of 13,126 (+2.9%) from the 448,734 recorded at the 2010 census,[7] which in turn had reflected an increase of 25,340 (6.0%) from the 423,394 enumerated at the 2000 census.[8] The most populous place in the county was Evesham Township with 46,826 residents as of the 2020 census.[4] Washington Township covered 102.71 square miles (266.0 km2), the largest area of any municipality in the county.[9]

Burlington County is located east of the Delaware River and borders Philadelphia, the nation's sixth-largest city. It is part of the Philadelphia-Camden-Vineland, PA-NJ-DE-MD combined statistical area, also known as the Delaware Valley.[10] However, the county stretches across the state, and its southeast corner reaches tidal estuaries leading to New Jersey's Great Bay, which separates the county from the Atlantic Ocean. The county is part of the South Jersey region of the state.[11]

  11. ^ Willis, David P. "'This is how wars start': Does Central Jersey include both Ocean and Union counties?", Asbury Park Press, February 20, 2023. Accessed March 31, 2024. "North Jersey is defined as Sussex, Warren, Morris, Passaic, Bergen, Essex and Hudson counties; South Jersey would be Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic, Salem, Cumberland and Cape May counties. But for Central, things get a little tricky. It would include Hunterdon, Somerset, Union, Middlesex, Mercer, Monmouth, and Ocean counties."
