As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 45,538,〔〔〔 reflecting an increase of 3,263 (+7.7%) from the 42,275 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 6,966 (+19.7%) from the 35,309 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed August 30, 2012.〕 Colloquially, the area is referred to as Marlton, the name of a community within the township.〔 Evesham Township was formed on November 6, 1688, as ''Eversham'' (with an "R" in the middle of the name that was lost in subsequent years) in the Province of West Jersey before the county was formed.〔Snyder, John P. ("The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968" ), p. 95-96. Bureau of Geology and Topography, 1969. Accessed January 14, 2015.〕〔Laufer, Joseph M. ("Evesham Township - Marlton" ), Burlington County Historian. Accessed January 14, 2015. "One of Burlington County's original eight townships, established in 1866, Eversham, was named after a Borough in England, near Stratford on Avon."〕〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 20, 2015.〕 It was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798, as one of New Jersey's original group of 104 townships.〔 Portions of the township were taken to form Washington Township (November 19, 1802), Medford Township (March 1, 1847) and Mount Laurel Township (March 7, 1872).〔 ==History== The area now known as Evesham Township was originally settled by Quakers in 1672. The township was named either for the town of the same name in England〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 26, 2015.〕 or for prominent English settler Thomas Eves.〔("Evesham: A tale of two cities" ), ''Courier-Post'', October 19, 2006. Accessed August 26, 2015. "The township was named either for a borough in England by the same name or to honor Thomas Eves, a settler from Evesham, England."〕 The Township was substantially larger than it is today, originally including what are now Mount Laurel, 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 Township was eventually incorporated in 1692 as one of the thirteen Townships in Burlington County. In 1802, a tract was cut off for Washington Township; in 1847, the Township was then divided in half, with the eastern half becoming Medford Township; and in 1872, Evesham was divided again, for the last time, with the northern part becoming Mount Laurel Township.〔 Marlton is a name commonly associated and interchangeable with the name Evesham,〔 derived from the census designated place within Evesham. The name Marlton came about in the early 19th century and stems from the word "marl", a naturally occurring mixture of green clay with remnants of shells that was used as a 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.〔 The Marlton area was recognized as a village in 1758. The village was named Marlton in 1845. The same year the "Evesham" Post Office and the "Evesham" Baptist Church both had their names changed to "Marlton" Post Office and the "Marlton" Baptist Church. The names remain the same today. Most maps and directional signs refer to Marlton instead of Evesham. The historic village, Olde Marlton, remains mostly intact and is a locally regulated Historic District.〔(Brief History of Evesham Township and its Village of Olde Marlton )〕 Full-time police services began in 1966. Evesham remained mostly unchanged until the 1950s, when developers began buying farms and building the township's first housing developments. Today, no significant farmland remains. In 1955, the United States Army opened the PH-32 Nike Ajax facility on Tomlinson Mill Road. This battery was one of twelve used to shield Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from aerial assault during the Cold War.〔Bewley, Joel. ("Missile-base remnants recall hair-trigger days of Cold War" ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', October 19, 2005. Accessed October 2, 2007. "Evesham Township played a potentially crucial role in trying to protect the region from a Soviet nuclear attack during the early years of the Cold War. A half-century ago, a military base was built and armed with Nike surface-to-air missiles."〕 The base was decommissioned in the mid-1960s and used for various functions, including a civil defense center. The site of the base is now a housing development which was built in the mid-1990s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evesham Township, New Jersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
