Mount Holly Township · Historic Preservation District

Mount Holly has been the Burlington County seat since the 1790s, when the seat moved from Burlington City, and its courthouse dates from 1796. The township's Historic Preservation District takes in Brainerd, Woolman and White Streets end to end and parts of High, Mill and Washington Streets, among others. The National Register listed the Mount Holly Historic District in 1973, and its nomination describes many 18th- and 19th-century buildings.

Mill Race Village shares its name with the town's mill race, which was built in 1723 and is part of the Mount Holly historic district. A 2002 state grant helped pay for a preservation plan and an archaeological study of the race. The New Jersey Historic Trust says public and private owners whose properties border the race have made inappropriate repairs to it.

Willingboro is its own township. Levitt and Sons had acquired 90 percent of its land by 1956, the first family moved into a Levitt house in October 1958, and a 1959 referendum renamed the town Levittown until a 1963 vote restored the Willingboro name. Its neighborhoods are called parks, and in most of them every street name starts with the park's first letter, as in Pennypacker Park.
