Runnemede is a borough in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 8,324,[10][11] a decrease of 144 (−1.7%) from the 2010 census count of 8,468,[20][21] which in turn reflected a decline of 65 (−0.8%) from the 8,533 counted in the 2000 census.[22]
Runnemede was authorized to incorporate as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 23, 1926, from portions of the now-defunct Centre Township, and was then made independent based on the results of a referendum held on April 24, 1926. Acts enabling creation of the boroughs of Bellmawr, Mount Ephraim, and Lawnside were passed during the same two-day period.[23] The derivation of the borough's name is uncertain, though claims that it derives from a Native American term for "running water" have been refuted and connections to General George Meade or to "rum we need" for a nearby tavern are probably apocryphal.[24] Sources have cited the name as coming from Runnymede, England.[25]

"When the a railway extension was proposed in 1877, the name "Mapleville" appeared on a survey showing the location of what is now Runnemede. But by the railroad's completion to present-day Blackwood in 1893, the name for the station in town was Runnemede. 'There are no definitive answers,' Leap writes."
