Woodbury is the county seat of Gloucester County in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[20] The city, along with the rest of Gloucester County, is part South Jersey and of the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Camden, PA-NJ-DE-MD combined statistical area, also known as the Delaware Valley or Philadelphia metropolitan area.[21] As of the 2020 United States census, the city's population was 9,963,[10][11] a decrease of 211 (−2.1%) from the 2010 census count of 10,174,[22][23] which in turn reflected a decline of 133 (−1.3%) from the 10,307 in the 2000 census.[24]

Woodbury was originally formed as a borough on March 27, 1854, within Deptford Township based on the results of a March 22, 1854, referendum. On January 2, 1871, Woodbury was reincorporated as a city based on the results of a referendum held that day.[25]

Inspira Health Network is based in Woodbury.[26] The now-defunct Woodbury Country Club operated in Woodbury from 1897 to 2010, closing due to declining membership and mounting debt that led to its 2013 bankruptcy filing.[27]

The city had the 14th-highest property tax rate in New Jersey with an equalized rate of 4.582% as of 2020 compared to 3.212% in the county as a whole and a statewide average of 2.279%.[28]
