History
[edit]What is now Delanco Township was originally incorporated as Beverly Township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 1, 1859, within Willingboro Township. Delanco was a geographical place name by 1868,<ref>Obituary of Rev. Isaac Winner from the New Jersey Mirror newspaper, dated 15 July 1868, page 3, column 1</ref> and probably earlier. At its creation, Beverly Township included Beverly city, which separated as an independent municipality Template:Circa. Portions of the township were taken to create Edgewater Park on February 26, 1924. The township's name was changed to Delanco Township as of December 20, 1926, based on the results of a referendum held on November 2, 1926.<ref name=Story>Snyder, John P.

In April 1861, the Sixth Massachusetts Militia passed through Delanco, on their way to Washington to defend the federal capital. According to the report of Colonel Edward F. Jones during their travel, James Brady was "taken insane" and left in Delanco Township with J. C. Buck. When the regiment arrived in Baltimore, Maryland, it was attacked during the Baltimore riot of 1861.<ref>United States War Department.
