History

Formed in 1844 from Gloucester County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Camden County was created from Gloucester County on March 13, 1844. The county has undergone several boundary changes with Gloucester and Burlington counties, losing territory in 1871 and 1902, then gaining areas from Gloucester County in 1926, 1931, 1950, and 1998.
