The Borough of Woodstown is an independent municipality completely surrounded by Pilesgrove Township, with Woodstown serving as the more densely settled commercial core of the paired communities, while Pilesgrove is more agricultural.〔(''Environmental Resource Inventory for the Borough of Woodstown and the Township of Pilesgrove, Salem County, New Jersey'' ), Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, September 2005. Accessed November 8, 2015. "Woodstown is representative of a 19th century commercial center, which supported its agricultural hinterlands and linked to other commercial centers of varying size from Salem City in the south to Camden City in the north.... Since Woodstown is surrounded by Pilesgrove and is considerably denser, the borough’s population has remained stable over the last decade."〕
