Map of Runnemede borough

Runnemede is a borough in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough’s population was 8,324, a decrease of 144 (−1.7%) from the 2010 census count of 8,468, which in turn reflected a decline of 65 (−0.8%) from the 8,533 counted in the 2000 census.

Runnemede was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 23, 1926, from portions of the now-defunct Centre Township, based on the results of a referendum held on April 24, 1926. The boroughs of Bellmawr, Mount Ephraim, and Lawnside were simultaneously created during the same two-day period. The derivation of the borough’s name is uncertain, though claims that it derives from a Native American term for “running water” have been refuted and connections to General George Meade or to “rum we need” for a nearby tavern are probably apocryphal. Sources have cited the name as coming from Runnymede, England.
