| The area was originally inhabited by the Lenni Lenape (Delaware), and was settled by English Quakers in the late 1600s. Called Levittown (1959–63), after the large real-estate firm that developed it, the core of the largely residential township was planned as a community of one-family homes and town houses, a residential suburb of Camden and Philadelphia. |
