A History of Willingboro
Willingboro Township, originally known as the “Constabulary of Wellingborrow,” can trace its history back to 1688.
Wellingborrow, England, was the hometown of Thomas Ollive, one of the original settlers of what’s now Willingboro. Ollive and his fellow emigres came to the New World in the late 1600s. They built their homesteads as one of the first nine divisions when the British Colony of West Jersey was created in November 1688.
Just over 100 years later, following the War for Independence and the creation of the United States, Willingborough Township was incorporated as one of the first 104 townships in the State of New Jersey. The name eventually morphed to the current “Willingboro”. In the middle of the 19th century, portions became Beverly City (1850) and Delanco Township (1859).
One final shift of Willingboro’s municipal borders occurred in 1956 as the Levitt & Sons Corporation was buying land and making plans for its third “Levittown” development, following the success of the corporation’s work in New York and Pennsylvania.
The first Levittown homes sold in June 1958. The township changed its name, by referendum, to “Levittown Township” in November 1959. However, since the municipality was less than 12 miles from Levittown, PA, there was significant geographical confusion. That’s why the town changed back to “Willingboro Township” in November 1963, by a slim margin of 3,123 to 3,003.
Two of the most well-known residents of Willingboro are Olympic champion Carl Lewis and professional wrestling icon Gorilla Monsoon.
Lewis won nine Olympic gold medals and one Olympic silver medal in sprint events and the long jump. He is one of only three Olympic athletes who won a gold medal in the same event in four consecutive Olympic Games.
Monsoon, whose birth name is Robert James Marella, was a part of the WWF from 1963 to 1983. He also finished second in the 1959 NCAA Wrestling Championships while a student at Ithaca College.
