Pemberton Township is a township in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 26,903,[10][11] a decrease of 1,009 (−3.6%) from the 2010 census count of 27,912,[22][23] which in turn reflected a decline of 779 (−2.7%) from the 28,691 total in the 2000 census.[24] The township, and all of Burlington County, is a part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[25]

Pemberton was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 10, 1846, from portions of New Hanover Township, Northampton Township (now known as Mount Holly Township), and Southampton Township. Portions of the township were taken to form Woodland Township on March 7, 1866.[26] The township is named for James Pemberton, a property owner in the area.[27] The township is part of the South Jersey region of the state.
