What is now Maple Shade was originally formed as '''Chester Township''' on November 6, 1688, and was known as '''Cropwell Township''' from June 5, 1690, through February 22, 1699. Chester was incorporated as one of New Jersey's initial 104 townships by an act of the [[New Jersey Legislature]] on February 21, 1798. Portions of the township were taken to form [[Cinnaminson Township, New Jersey|Cinnaminson Township]] (March 15, 1860) and [[Moorestown, New Jersey|Moorestown Township]] (March 11, 1922). The municipality's name was changed to Maple Shade Township as of November 6, 1945, based on the results of a referendum passed that same day.<ref name=Story>Snyder, John P.
