About Merchantville, New Jersey

Located in northern Camden County just 15 minutes east of downtown Philadelphia, the borough of Merchantville is home to just under 4000 people. Initially settled in colonial days, this was mainly an agrarian community until the mid-1800s began to see development and growth. Today, among the Philadelphia suburbs, Merchantville offers its residents the perfect blend of small-town charm and big-city access with a strong sense of community and low crime rates.

About Merchantville Municipal Court

Merchantville Municipal Court is located in the heart of town along East Maple Avenue. This court handles all traffic offenses, ordinance violations, bail hearings, and disorderly persons cases in the borough.

During the Superior Court's off-hours, nights or weekends, the judge on call may also issue emergency temporary restraining orders.
