Gloucester is an old township located in Camden County in southwestern New Jersey. As of the 2010 census, the population was 64,634. The township of Gloucester was formed in 1695, and at that time still a part of Old Gloucester County. It was one of New Jersey's first 104 townships and became part of the newly created Camden County in 1844. Gloucester Township was named for the city in England that sits on the banks of the River Severn. The U.S. township of Gloucester was later subdivided into four smaller townships. Historic attractions in the town include the Gabreil Daveis Tavern House, a pre-American Revolutionary War tavern that was built in 1756 and for many years served as an inn for boatmen who transported their products to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania via nearby Big Timber Creek. The tavern was recently restored and now serves as a major historical centerpiece for Gloucester Township. This same building has also at times been called the Hillman Hospital House because it was designated a hospital by George Washington during the Revolution. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is open to visitors on Sunday afternoons, from 1 to 4, from April through December, except on holidays.
