About Harrison Township
Harrison Township is a roughly 19-square-mile Gloucester County community centered on historic Mullica Hill and also including Ewan, Richwood and Jefferson. It combines preserved farmland and residential neighborhoods with an active Main Street, Route 45 and Route 322 commercial areas, recreation facilities and a major regional medical center.
Mullica Hill is the township's historic and commercial heart. The village's National Register historic district contains a large collection of eighteenth-, nineteenth- and early twentieth-century buildings that now mix homes, shops, antiques, restaurants and professional offices.
Municipal scope matters: a Mullica Hill or Swedesboro mailing address does not by itself prove that a property is inside Harrison Township. NJTGO uses township, county and current business-directory evidence when placing listings.
