Harrison Township is a township in Gloucester County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 13,641,[9][10] an increase of 1,224 (+9.9%) from the 2010 census count of 12,417,[19][20] which in turn reflected an increase of 3,629 (+41.3%) from the 8,788 counted in the 2000 census.[21]

Harrison Township was originally formed as Spicer Township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 13, 1844, from portions of Greenwich Township and Woolwich Township. That name lasted for less than a year, with Harrison Township adopted as of April 1, 1845.[22] The township was named for President William Henry Harrison.[23][24] Mullica Hill is the historical center of the Township.[25]

From Prohibition until 2018, Harrison Township had been a dry township, where alcohol could not be sold.[26][27] The township's voters passed a referendum in 2009 permitting alcohol by consumption in restaurants. A second referendum was passed by the voters in 2015 allowing sales of packaged alcoholic goods in liquor stores. The first liquor store opened in November 2018 and the first bar opened in July 2019.[28]

The project was on hold until around 2013, Manzo said, and it was then the township auctioned off the first four licenses to the Richwood Town Center developer Madison Marquette, for $500,000 each.
