As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 2,585,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 111 (-4.1%) from the 2,696 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 159 (+6.3%) from the 2,537 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7.

Later it was by some, in derision of its comparative insignificance, Pennytown, and as early as 1747 it began to be called Pennington."〔(Pennington Borough History ) from ''History of Burlington and Mercer Counties, New Jersey, with Biographical Sketches of Many of Their Pioneers and Prominent Men'' by Major E.

"The borough's history dates to the early 1700s when it was called Queenstown in honor of Queen Anne.

(''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed September 17, 2015.〕 The name "Penington" was already known in the area, as Edward Penington (1667-1701), son of the British Quaker leader Isaac Penington, was appointed by his kinsman William Penn as Surveyor General of Pennsylvania. His father-in-law was a longtime leader, including as Governor, of the province of West Jersey, where Edward married.〔(OLD PHILADELPHIA FAMILIES XLVII Penington ).
