Centre Township was a township that existed in Camden County, New Jersey, United States, from 1855 through 1926.

Centre Township was incorporated as a township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 6, 1855, from portions of the now-defunct Union Township:[8] {{quote|"Beginning in the middle of Great Timber Creek at the mouth of the southerly branch of Little Timber Creek; thence along the middle of Little Timber Creek to a point where the old King’s Highway crossed the same; thence northerly along the highway to the southwest corner of Cedar Grove Cemetery and corner of James H. Brick’s land; thence along said line and by the lands of Aaron H. Hurley, crossing the Mt. Ephraim Road to the corner of the lands of John Brick, deceased; thence along the lands of Brick and John C. Champion and John R. Brick to Newton Creek, on the line of Newton Township; thence eastwardly by Newton Creek, on the line of Union and Newton, until it strikes the line of the townships of Union and Delaware; thence up the same to Burrough’s Bridge; thence on the middle of the highway and on boundary line between the townships of Union and Gloucester to Clements Bridge, on the Great Timber Creek; thence down the middle of the said creek to the place of beginning."}}

Over the years, portions of Centre Township were taken to create several new municipalities:[8]

  • Haddon Heights on March 2, 1904 (also portions of Haddon Township)
  • Magnolia on April 14, 1915 (also portions of Clementon)
  • Barrington on March 27, 1917
  • Tavistock on February 16, 1921
  • Brooklawn on March 11, 1924
  • Bellmawr on March 23, 1926
  • Mount Ephraim on March 23, 1926
  • Runnemede on March 23, 1926
  • Lawnside on March 24, 1926 (also portions of Barrington)

With the creation of Lawnside, Centre Township was officially dissolved.
