Lumberton was formed in March 1860 from portions of neighboring Medford, Southampton, and Eastampton townships. Conversely, a part of Lumberton was excised in March 1924 to create Hainesport Township. The township received its name from the massive groves of pine trees that were felled and processed to supply wood used in early Philadelphia construction projects.
Lumberton was also home to an active stop on the Underground Railroad that was established in the years before and during the Civil War. One house, still standing on Creek Road in the township, contains a false well in the back that was used as a slide and hostelry to hide former slaves who were on there way to Canada before President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862.
In terms of population ranking in Burlington County, Lumberton is 11th (out of 40 Burlington County municipalities) in number of residents. Its 12,500 residents are about 3,000 fewer than Cinnaminson Township and roughly 400 more than Florence Township. When it comes to physical area, though, Lumberton is the 19th-largest municipality among those same 40 entities. At roughly 13 square-miles, it sits between Burlington Township (at 14 square miles) and Westampton Township (11 square miles).
