About Cinnaminson

A welcoming Burlington County township where strong schools, genuine community, and a prime location come together.

A Town with Deep Roots

Cinnaminson Township sits in Burlington County, New Jersey, approximately 11 miles east of Philadelphia along the Delaware River. The name derives from the Lenni-Lenape word "Senamensing," meaning "sweetwater," a fitting tribute to the township's riverside heritage.

With a population of just over 17,000 residents across 8.1 square miles, Cinnaminson maintains the feel of a close-knit community despite its proximity to the Philadelphia metro area. The median household income of approximately $128,271 reflects a community of working professionals and established families.

The township borders Delran to the north, Maple Shade and Moorestown to the east, and Riverton and Palmyra along the Delaware River. It's part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area, giving residents easy access to the cultural and economic resources of a major metropolitan region.

What makes Cinnaminson stand apart is the combination of strong public schools (ranked #4 in Burlington County), a safe residential environment, and a community that genuinely invests in bringing people together through parks, events, and shared spaces.
