As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 39,499,〔〔〔 reflecting an increase of 4,888 (+14.1%) from the 34,611 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 4,524 (+15.0%) from the 30,087 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 July 17, 2012.〕 Winslow Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 8, 1845, from portions of Gloucester Township. Portions of the township were taken on November 26, 1867, to create Chesilhurst. In 1950, the township annexed a portion of Monroe Township (in Gloucester County).〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 201. Accessed May 12, 2012.〕 ==History== Winslow Township is Camden County's largest municipality at . The township got its name from the son of a 19th-century glass factory owner, William Coffin, Sr., who bought large tracts of timber in Camden County about six miles west of Hammonton and with his son-in-law in 1929. Thomas Jefferson Perce and William Coffin, Jr., built the Winslow Glass Works (his second one in 12 years) in the midst of a thick pine forest. The community was named for Senior Coffin's youngest son, Edward Winslow Coffin.〔Schwartz, Erik. ("Winslow: A legacy of glass" ), ''Courier-Post'', October 19, 2006. Accessed November 1, 2015. "Winslow Township, Camden County's largest municipality at 58 square miles, gets its name from the son of the owner of a 19th century glass factory. William Coffin Sr. named the area after a son, Edward Winslow Coffin."〕〔Potter, Cheryl Lynne. ("A Quaint Town That Is Rich In Its Diversity As Winslow Celebrates Its First 150 Years, Change Is Coming Down The Road." ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', January 15, 1995. Accessed November 1, 2015. "Winslow was named by William Coffin Sr. of nearby Hammonton for his youngest son, Edward Winslow Coffin.History relates that the elder Coffin purchased land in a thick pine forest six miles west of Hammonton in 1829 for his glass factory, Winslow Glass Works."〕〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed November 1, 2015.〕 Winslow Township was incorporated in 1845 from the Township of Gloucester.〔 The township's very first meeting was held at Josiah Albertson's Blue Anchor Inn which was located on what is now Route 73 in the vicinity of St Lucy's Church. During its early years Winslow was known for its thriving glass business which developed as a result of the townships abundant resources of timber, clay, and sand, though by the start of the 20th century the glass industry died throughout Winslow.〔Lurie, Maxine N.; and Mappen, Marc. ("Winslow Township" ), ''Encyclopedia of New Jersey'', p. 879, Rutgers University Press, 2004. ISBN 0-8135-3325-2. Accessed March 10, 2011.〕 During the early 20th century, Winslow's population continued to grow until it peaked at a small 11,000 residents by the 1970s. During this time period the majority of Winslow residents were farmers. In 1965, Winslow township started to see an increase in population as the Atlantic City Expressway was completed with an interchange in Winslow at Williamstown Road. The proximity of the interchange drew developers towards the Sicklerville section of the township, where Levitt & Sons would build thousands of homes throughout the 1970s. Between 1970 and 1980 Winslow's population nearly doubled to 20,000 residents. As of 2006, 80% of the township currently sits in the Pinelands National Reserve, thus restricting future land development. Despite the restriction of development on the reserve, agricultural areas still persist in Winslow. The township is also served by two area codes, 856 and 609. When area code 609 was split in 1999, the southern/eastern end in the township (primarily with the Hammonton mailing address, Cedarbrook, and a small section of Sickerville) were left in the 609 code, while the other sections closer to Berlin and Williamstown received 856 as their area code. ;Landmarks *St Lucy's Roman Catholic Church, Route 73.
