Moorestown is a town in South Jersey that truly embraces its history and close community. English Quakers settled in Moorestown in the late 1600s, and many believe the genuine friendliness of the Quaker community is naturally instilled in current Moorestown residents. Homes were first built in Moorestown in the late 1600s, when the neighborhood was part of Chester Township. Since then, Moorestown has evolved into a highly coveted area in South Jersey. Moorestown is 15 square miles and home to over 20,000 welcoming residents. The current Main Street follows a ridge that was occupied by the Lenni Lenape Native Americans and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Now, Moorestown residents enjoy dozens of fantastic restaurants and small local businesses that lend to a classic small-town feel. In 2005, Moorestown was named “Best Place to Live” In Money Magazine.
