History. The township says it is the site of the first English settlement in New Jersey, in 1641. The Swedes built Fort Elfsborg here in 1643. Elsinboro was incorporated in 1798 as one of New Jersey's original 104 townships.
Places to know. The Abel Nicholson House was built in 1722 and the Morris-Goodwin House in 1745.
Schools. Elsinboro Township School teaches kindergarten through eighth grade. High school students go to Salem High School in Salem City.
Getting around. No interstate, U.S. or state highway runs through the township; its numbered roads are small county routes such as County Route 624.
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 Elsinboro Township construction office whether anything else is checked before a sale. Rules change, so check with the town before listing.
