Medford Lakes is a borough in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 4,264,[9] an increase of 118 (+2.8%) from the 2010 census count of 4,146,[18][19] which in turn reflected a decline of 27 (−0.6%) from the 4,173 counted in the 2000 census.[20] The township, and all of Burlington County, is a part of the Philadelphia-Reading-Camden combined statistical area and the Delaware Valley.[21]
Medford Lakes was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on May 17, 1939, from portions of Medford Township.[22] The borough was named for Medford Township, which was named by a developer for Medford, Massachusetts.[23][24]
The borough's 22 lakes and surrounding lake communities are within the boundaries of the New Jersey Pinelands Commission. The Medford Lakes Colony, a community association, manages the lakes and other recreational facilities. More than 10% of the borough's homes are log cabins.[25]
