Opening Paragraph
As one of the earliest official precincts in Salem County, Pilesgrove Township is a pillar of regional agriculture, distinguished by its heritage farms and historic crossroads.
Stretching across more than 35 square miles of lush, rolling land, the township has seen steady, and sustainable growth. It masterfully blends its deep Quaker settlement roots with a thriving modern agricultural and agritourism scene.
Founded on the principles of early Quaker settlers, Pilesgrove has dedicated centuries to cultivating the land and establishing enduring community values. It proudly holds the distinction of passing New Jersey’s first “right-to-farm” law, cementing its commitment to its agricultural families.
The township is famously home to the Cowtown Rodeo, the oldest weekly running professional rodeo in the United States, drawing visitors from across the country. Beyond the arena, local wineries and beautifully preserved heritage farms highlight a vibrant, family-friendly rural lifestyle.
