borough history
History Demographics
Westville is located in Gloucester County, New Jersey and
2010 Census Information
was formed as a borough by an act of the New Jersey
Borough Size: 1.378 square miles
Legislature on April 7, 1914, from portions of Deptford
Township and West Deptford Township, based on the Population: 4,288
results of a referendum held on April 28, 1914. The borough Households: 1,755
was reincorporated on March 8, 1914. Legislation was Age:
passed in 1900 to create Westville, but it had to have a
majority vote in favor of the new municipality in both
12%
Deptford and West Deptford. The borough was named for 20% under age of 18
Thomas West, who built a home in the area in 1775 that still 18 to 24
stands.
29% 10% 25 to 44
Through many years, there developed in the Colony of New 45 to 64
Jersey an overland route, called the Great Road, running 65+
29%
from Perth Amboy to Burlington and through to Salem. The
road was later called Kings Highway. It crossed Big Timber
Creek where Westville now stands, therefore, it was quite
natural that some sort of town should develop since fords
of the large streams were few prior to and at the time of the
American Revolution.
As the stages crossed Big Timber Creek, there was often
need for a stage stop. Thomas West built a tavern a few
hundred yards away from the creek. This tavern quickly
became a favorite stopping place for the travelers going to
or coming from the lower counties. The oldest record of
ownership of the land on which the tavern and eventually
the town was built is probably contained in a deed dated
September 15, 1703 which shows that Daniel Coxe
purchased “400 acres of land around Timber Creek in the
county of Gloucester for 44 pounds of money.”
