History
Site of the ferry landing to Philadelphia
Route S41N (1927-1953)

The original alignment of Cinnaminson Avenue in the community of Palmyra was originally a part of New Jersey State Highway Route 2, which was assigned in 1922, as a part of the original state highway system in New Jersey.[3] Five years later, the highway re-designated during the period between the 1927 New Jersey state highway renumbering and year of 1941 as a spur of State Highway Route S-41,[4] which is currently Route 73. The route designation remained intact for several years until the 1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering, when numerous highways around the state were given new designations. After the spur routes were dropped in the renumbering, the highway was re-designated as Route 155.[5] Route 155's alignment was later turned over to the county of Burlington, who re-designated it as an extension of County Route 607.[1][6]
