Pittsgrove Township is a township in Salem County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 8,777,[9][10] a decrease of 616 (−6.6%) from the 2010 census count of 9,393,[18][19] which in turn reflected an increase of 500 (+5.6%) from the 8,893 counted in the 2000 census.[20]
Pittsgrove Township was formed by Royal charter on December 6, 1769 and was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798, as one of the initial group of 104 townships established in New Jersey. Portions of the township were taken on March 4, 1822, to form Centreville Township (which was restored in 1829 when the township was dissolved), on March 10, 1846, to form Upper Pittsgrove Township and on January 28, 1893, to form Elmer borough.[21] The township was named for William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham, a supporter of the colonial cause.[22][23]
