Waterford Township was originally created by Royal charter on June 1, 1695, while the area was still part of Gloucester County. The township was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. On March 13, 1844, Waterford Township became one of the original townships in the newly created Camden County. The settlement of Long-a-Coming (today's borough of Berlin) along the White Horse Pike (US 30) in Waterford was the new county's first seat, but lost that designation in 1848 when the seat moved to the city of Camden.[20] Portions of the township were taken over the years to form Delaware Township (on February 28, 1844, now Cherry Hill Township), Chesilhurst (November 26, 1887), Voorhees Township (March 1, 1899) and Berlin Township (March 11, 1910).[21][22] The township was named for Waterford, Ireland.[23][24]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 36.22 square miles (93.81 km2), including 36.00 square miles (93.25 km2) of land and 0.22 square miles (0.56 km2) of water (0.60%).[1][2]
Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the borough include Atco, Atco Lake, Bishops, Dunbarton, Fisher, Jackson, Louden and Pestletown.[25]
