Medford Lakes was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on May 17, 1939, from portions of Medford Township.[23] The borough was named for Medford Township, which was named by a developer for Medford, Massachusetts.[24][25]

The borough's 22 lakes and surrounding lake communities are within the boundaries of the New Jersey Pinelands Commission. The Medford Lakes Colony, a homeowner association, manages the lakes and other recreational facilities. More than 10% of the borough's homes are log cabins.[26]

History

Before European colonization, the area now known as Medford Lakes was primarily inhabited by the Lenni-Lenape tribe. They used the area's abundant natural resources, including its bodies of water and forests, for survival and shelter.[27]

European influence over the region began in the 17th century when the English gained control from the Dutch. However, the first permanent European settlement was not established until the 18th century. At that time, the region, characterized by fertile soil and vast forests, was lightly populated and primarily used for farming and lumbering.[28]

During the American Revolutionary War, Charles Read's Aetna Furnace played a significant role, utilizing local bog iron to manufacture cannonballs for the Continental Army.[29] Additionally, John Haines erected a saw and grist mill, contributing to the early industrial life of what would later become Medford Lakes.

The 19th century saw the area's natural resources fueling the Industrial Revolution, turning Medford Lakes into an industrial center. Extraction of iron ore continued, and forges were established along the waterways. The population increased substantially during this period.[30]

The Medford Lakes Development Company was founded in 1927 and the following year, the Vaughn and Sons Lumber Company built the Colony Club Pavilion on land donated by the Development Company.[31] The company began importing large quantities of cedar logs, which were fashioned into log cabins. These cabins, with their excellent insulation properties, became the architectural hallmark of the community. Paired with sizeable stone fireplaces for the colder months, these cabins expanded the resort season, turning Medford Lakes into a sought-after retreat for Philadelphians and New Yorkers.

In 1931, St. Mary of the Lakes Catholic Church, a single-story log cabin structure, was built and later added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[32]

Medford Lakes was officially incorporated as a borough on May 17, 1939, from portions of Medford Township.[33] Since incorporation, the borough has worked to maintain the community's unique log cabin character, even as it has expanded and modernized.

Throughout the second half of the 20th century, Medford Lakes' population surged, transitioning from a summer resort to a year-round residential community.

On July 12, 2004, the borough suffered substantial damage due to flooding, caused by 7.26 inches of rainfall over 14 hours. This led to the breaking of several dams, including the Quogue Dam and the Lower and Upper Aetna Lake Dams, causing water levels to rise beyond 500-year flood elevations on portions of Ballinger Run.[34]

Since 1931, the Canoe Carnival, an event featuring hand-crafted floats each supported by a maximum of two canoes, has taken place on Lower Aetna Lake during the first week of August. Spectators gather along the lake to view this aquatic spectacle, after which a winner, as well as a king, queen, and court, are announced.[35]

Geography

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.293 square miles (3.348 km2), including 1.162 square miles (3.008 km2) of which is land and 0.131 square miles (0.340 km2) of which is water (10.15%).[1][2] The borough is an independent municipality surrounded entirely by Medford Township,[36][37][38] making it part one of 21 pairs of "doughnut towns" in the state, where one municipality entirely surrounds another.[39]

Medford Lakes is one of 56 South Jersey municipalities that are included within the New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve, a protected natural area of unique ecology covering 1,100,000 acres (450,000 ha), that has been classified as a United States Biosphere Reserve and established by Congress in 1978 as the nation's first National Reserve.[40] All of the borough is included in the state-designated Pinelands Area, which includes portions of Burlington County, along with areas in Atlantic, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester and Ocean counties.[41]
