About Delanco
At a glance. Delanco is a Burlington County township of 4,824 people (2020 census).
History. In 1845 Richard F. Wilmerton chartered a village here called Delaranco, a name made from Delaware River and Rancocas Creek. A post office named Delanco opened in 1857. In 1861 the French inventor Brutus de Villeroi spent three months on Rancocas Creek testing a prototype of the submarine Alligator. Delanco Township was incorporated on December 20, 1926, when it separated from Beverly Township.
Places to know. The Zurbrugg Mansion on Delaware Avenue was built in 1910 and designed by the Philadelphia architect Frank Furness. Pennington Park opened in 2006 on the former Pennington family farm on Creek Road. The Landon-Stone Bridge to Riverside was dedicated in 1935.
Library. The Delanco Public Library is at 1303 Burlington Avenue. It is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1 PM to 5 PM, Tuesday and Thursday from 1 PM to 8 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM.
Selling a home. New Jersey requires a certificate for working smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and a portable fire extinguisher before a one- or two-family home gets a new owner or tenant. Ask the Delanco Township construction office whether anything else is checked before a sale. Rules change, so check with the town before listing.
