Port Norris is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP)[9] located within Commercial Township, in Cumberland County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[10][11] It is part of the Vineland-Millville- Bridgeton Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area for statistical purposes. As of the 2000 United States Census, the CDP's population was 1,377.[12] Legislation was passed in 1911 allowing voters to choose to incorporate Port Norris as a borough, independent from Commercial Township, but it was defeated in a referendum.[13]
