What to do...
What is now Delanco Township was originally incorporated as Beverly Townshipon March 1, 1859, within Willingboro Township. At its creation, Beverly Township included Beverly city, which separated as an independent municipality c. 1877. Portions of the township were taken to create Edgewater Park on February 26, 1924. The township's name was changed to Delanco Township as of December 20, 1926, based on the results of a referendum held on November 2, 1926.
Delanco is named after the Delaware River and Rancocas Creek, which border the community. It was originally called Del-Ranco or Delaranco, a syllabic abbreviation later shortened to Delanco. Delanco is a dry township where alcohol cannot be sold.

The Zurbrugg Mansion
531 Delaware Ave
Delanco, NJ 08075
The Mansion was the home of the Zurbrugg Hospital's original
benefactor and founder, Theophilus Zurbrugg. At his death
in 1912, Mr. Zurbrugg left a quarter of a million dollar
endowment to fund a hospital, perhaps because his wife
Lizette was a former nurse or because he had suffered a
stroke in 1908. In addition to the endowment, he left his three
story Riverside residence and the land on which it stood.
In February 1915, the original Zurbrugg Hospital opened its
doors, in that residence.
