Welcome to Florence Township, New Jersey
Nestled along the scenic Delaware River, Florence Township (which includes the historic village of Roebling) is a hidden gem in Northern Burlington County. It offers a rare combination of small-town charm, waterfront views, and incredible accessibility.
With a population of around 12,000, Florence maintains a tight-knit community feel. It's famous for its industrial history—Roebling steel helped build the Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building. Today, that history is preserved in its architecture and museums.
For commuters, Florence is unbeatable. With immediate access to the NJ Turnpike, Route 130, and the River LINE light rail, getting to Philadelphia, New York, or Trenton is a breeze.
