History edit
Named for the prominent Ellis family who settled the area,[12] the area that came to be known as Ellisburg was first the site of a blacksmith and tavern, which soon brought private homes to the area. A stagecoach that stopped at the tavern further helped development. The initial location of Ellisburg was the crossroads of Cooper's Creek Road (now Route 70) and Haddonfield-Moorestown Road (King's Highway).
