Salem County · New Jersey

Pittsgrove Township

Home to Centerton, Norma, Olivet, Willow Grove and Brotmanville—an expansive rural township shaped by farms, Parvin State Park, local schools, golf, recreation and small-business corridors.

About Pittsgrove

Pittsgrove was formed from Pilesgrove in 1769 and incorporated in 1798. The township covers more than 45 square miles and includes the hamlets of Centerton, Olivet, Willow Grove, Brotmanville and Norma. Its large rural footprint means an Elmer or Norma mailing address may still represent a property physically inside Pittsgrove Township.
