About Fairfield Township, New Jersey

Home to around 5500 people, Fairfield Township rests in west-central Cumberland County--a 44-square-mile piece of land stretching from the center of the county west toward Delaware Bay. It derives its name from some of the first colonial settlers who migrated here from Fairfield, CT in the late 1600s.
