History

Cinnaminson was formed by resolution in 1860 from a section of Chester Township. Part of this resolution reads, "The inhabitants of the township of Chester having become so numerous that it is impracticable for them to meet with convenience and good order in one assembly... the Township shall be divided."<ref>Griscom, Lloyd S. "The Historical Background Of Delran Township" Template:Webarchive, Delran Township. Accessed September 24, 2015. "The change came in the form of a legislative act, carrying a preamble, which read: "'The inhabitants of the Township of Chester having become so numerous that it is impracticable for them to meet with convenience and good order in one assembly... the township shall be divided.'"</ref>
