Washington Township is a township in Gloucester County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 48,677,[9][10] an increase of 118 (+0.2%) from the 2010 census count of 48,559,[24][25] which in turn reflected an increase of 1,445 (+3.1%) from the 47,114 counted in the 2000 census.[26] For 2022, the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program calculated a population of 49,234.[11]

Washington Township was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 17, 1836, from portions of Deptford Township. The township officially moved to the newly created Camden County on March 13, 1844. Monroe Township was created on March 3, 1859, from part of the township. Most of Washington Township, along with all of Monroe Township, was moved back into Gloucester County on February 28, 1871, with the remaining portions of Washington Township that were still in Camden County being transferred to Gloucester Township. Additional transfers to Gloucester Township were made in 1926 and 1931.[27] The township was named for George Washington, one of more than ten communities statewide named for the first president.[28][29] It is one of five municipalities in the state of New Jersey with the name Washington Township.[30] Washington, New Jersey, another borough, is surrounded by Washington Township in Warren County.

The township is part of the Delaware Valley, also known as the Philadelphia metropolitan area,[31] and the South Jersey region of the state. In 2008, CNN and Money Magazine ranked Washington Township 58th on its list of the "100 Best Cities to Live in the United States".[32]

"First in war, first in peace and, come tomorrow, first in the hearts of his countrymen, George Washington may be nowhere more fondly remembered than in New Jersey, where 12 communities are named for him. The profusion of such names - six Washington Townships, one each in Bergen, Burlington, Gloucester, Mercer, Morris and Warren Counties; Washington in Warren, Washington Crossing in Mercer, Washington Heights and Washington Park in Middlesex, Washingtonville in Sussex and Washington Valley in Morris - causes problems."

"In New Jersey, Washington can lay claim to another first. He's number one in names selected for the state's 566 municipalities. Bergen, Burlington, Gloucester, Morris and Warren counties all have a Washington Township. Warren also has a Washington Borough surrounded—naturally—by Washington Township. The largest is Gloucester County's Washington, with 52,096 people; the smallest is the Washington in Burlington, with a population of 649. New Jersey had a sixth Washington Township in Mercer County until 2008, when voters there approved a name change to Robbinsville."
