Beverly is a city in Burlington County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the city's population was 2,499,[10] a decrease of 78 (−3.0%) from the 2010 census count of 2,577,[19][20] which in turn had reflected a decline of 84 (−3.2%) from the 2,661 counted in the 2000 census.[21] The city and all of Burlington County constitute a part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[22]
Beverly was originally incorporated as a borough on March 5, 1850, within Willingboro Township. Beverly was incorporated as a city by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 13, 1857, replacing Beverly borough, based on the results of a referendum held that day.[23] Beverly Township, formed in 1859, co-existed alongside Beverly City and was renamed as Delanco Township in 1926.[23] The borough was named for Beverley, England.[24]
The city had the 15th-highest property tax rate in New Jersey, with an equalized rate of 4.550% in 2020, compared to 2.676% in the county as a whole and a statewide average of 2.279%.[25]
