Mount Laurel: Burlington County Suburbia and a Landmark Housing Case
Mount Laurel Township occupies 22 square miles in Burlington County and has a population of approximately 42,000. The township name recognizes the stand of mountain laurel on a small rise that defines the local topography in an otherwise flat section of South Jersey. The community developed in the late twentieth century along Interstate 295 and Route 38 as a commuter suburb of Philadelphia, 15 miles to the west.
Mount Laurel is the origin of the Mount Laurel doctrine, a series of New Jersey Supreme Court rulings beginning in 1975 that required municipalities to provide a fair share of affordable housing. The doctrine continues to shape land-use policy across the state decades later and has made the township's name a permanent part of American housing jurisprudence.
Laurel Acres Park on Church Road offers 72 acres of recreational land, and the township's extensive office park development along Route 73 includes corporate headquarters and regional offices for a range of firms. Campbell Soup maintains operations in the township.
