Oldmans Township

Positioned as the historic northern border of Salem County, Oldmans Township blends quiet residential living with a rich agricultural and military heritage. Encompassing nearly 21 square miles—with nearly 6% of its area comprised of local creeks and waterways—the township saw a healthy 7.7% population increase in the 2020 census, growing to over 1,910 residents. It continues to evolve by thoughtfully balancing its historic farming roots with modern logistics near the regional bridge corridor.

Historically linked to Camp Pedricktown, a former Army air defense base, Oldmans has always played a strategic role in the region’s defense and development. The township’s heritage is firmly planted in these cross-sections of military history and generations of family farming.

The township features an inviting blend of rustic rural roads and developing economic spaces near the Commodore Barry Bridge. Locals cherish this balance, enjoying a peaceful, small-town atmosphere while benefiting from smart, strategic regional growth.
