Cherry Hill was incorporated in 1844 as Delaware Township, and for its first century it was mostly farmland, much of it growing produce for the Campbell's Soup Company in nearby Camden. The township had no post office of its own, so mail came through neighboring towns such as Haddonfield and Merchantville. Two farmhouses from that era still stand as township properties: Croft Farm, begun around 1750 and later enlarged in the Federal style by the Evans family, who were abolitionists, and Barclay Farmstead, a late-Federal farmhouse from about the 1820s.
The township grew quickly in the mid-20th century. Developer Eugene Mori built the Garden State Park racetrack, the Cherry Hill Inn on the site of the old Cherry Hill Farm, apartments, housing estates and the Cherry Hill Shopping Center, today's Cherry Hill Mall. The farm's name traces to Capt. Abraham M. Browning, who kept a cherry orchard there in the 1800s.
When the township pushed for its own post office around 1959, postal officials asked for a new name because another Delaware Township already existed in Hunterdon County. After a referendum on November 7, 1961, the township became Cherry Hill. A full independent post office did not arrive until July 1, 1970. The township's 2018 master plan describes it as a classic postwar suburb, with most homes built between 1940 and 1980.
Housing in Cherry Hill is mainly single-family homes from the postwar decades; the 2018 master plan notes that more than 70 percent of homes date from 1940 to 1980 and that three- and four-bedroom houses dominate. The plan points to west-side sections such as Kingston and Erlton as the source of many smaller starter-size homes, while the east side has more of the larger single-family houses. Apartments date back to the township's early development years, and newer multifamily projects have been planned near the Woodcrest PATCO station.
The township has no single downtown. Highway corridors, especially Route 70, divide it into sections, and commerce lines those roads, with the Cherry Hill Mall and the redeveloped Garden State Park site as the main retail hubs. Named sections people use in everyday speech include Erlton, Kingston, Barclay, Woodcrest, Ashland, Springdale, Batesville and Golden Triangle; the plan singles out Batesville for its historic ties to the Underground Railroad. The master plan sets out ideas for a walkable main street in Erlton and for a mixed-use area around Cooper River Park in the Golden Triangle.
Parks are spread through the neighborhoods, and the Cooper River corridor gives nearby homes access to the county trail loop. Cherry Hill Public Schools serves the township.
Cherry Hill has two rail options into Philadelphia. NJ Transit's Atlantic City Line stops at Cherry Hill station on its daily runs between Atlantic City and Philadelphia's 30th Street Station. The PATCO Speedline's Woodcrest station, at 200 Tindale Avenue just off I-295, is a major park-and-ride with free daily lots and paid preferred lots closer to the platform; trains run from there through Haddonfield and Camden to Center City Philadelphia, ending at 15th-16th and Locust. Ashland station sits just across the line in Voorhees and is also used by Cherry Hill commuters.
NJ Transit buses add more options. Route 404 links Cherry Hill, Pennsauken and Merchantville with Center City Philadelphia, Route 450 runs from the Cherry Hill Mall to the Walter Rand Transportation Center in Camden, and Route 457 connects the Moorestown Mall, Cherry Hill and Haddonfield with Camden, where riders can switch to PATCO or the River LINE.
By car, Route 70 is the best-known of the highway corridors that cross the township, and I-295 passes through near the Woodcrest station. Bike paths along the Cooper River give cyclists a car-free route on the west side, though most of the township was built around driving.
Cooper River Park, a county park of about 347 acres shared with Pennsauken, Collingswood and Haddon Township, is the main outdoor draw. It has a 3.8-mile loop path, a 2,000-meter rowing course that hosts regattas, a yacht club with sailing lessons, a playground, a dog park, a sculpture garden and fishing spots. Upstream, the county's John Adler Memorial Park at Challenge Grove, at Bortons Mill and Caldwell roads, adds ball fields, a quarter-mile track, playgrounds and a bike path along the river.
The township's two historic farm sites double as community spaces. Croft Farm keeps its farmhouse and five outbuildings, including an icehouse, smokehouse and barn, on about 45 acres used for art and history programs and a summer camp. Barclay Farmstead operates as a house museum.
The Cherry Hill Public Library on Kings Highway North has a local history collection, a computer lab with 3D printing, a seed library and a Library of Things, plus regular author talks and book sales. The Garden State Discovery Museum, a children's museum, is in the Springdale industrial area. For shopping, the Cherry Hill Mall and the Garden State Park development are the regional retail centers.
