Gibbsboro was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 8, 1924, from portions of Voorhees Township, subject to approval by voters in a referendum, which was held on April 11, 1924.[21] The borough was named for the Gibbs family, early settlers from 1706 for whom the area's post office was named when it was established in 1883.[22]
