300 years ago Kings James II of England granted nearly 2500 acres of prime new- world woodland to a friend of the crown.

As the new- world grew older and the wilderness gave way to settlements and the settlements to cities and the cities to megalopolises, a great thing happened to that tract.

....Nothing.

It was passed down from generation through generation. Uninhabited. Untouched. Unspoiled.

This tract became Kings Grant, a Planned Urban Development in Marlton, Evesham Township, New Jersey. The Community of Kings Grant started to be developed in 1974 in an environmentally sensitive way. Today, the Community of Kings Grant consists of 2512 homes and is a mix of Single Family, Townhouses, and Condominiums all mostly on wooded and lakefront lots. Since the community is located in a State of New Jersey Wetlands protected area in what’s commonly known as the "Pinelands" the community adheres to strict conformance of protecting all areas in an environmental way to insure its preservation. Nearly one third of all acreage in Kings Grant is Open Space undeveloped which is under the jurisdiction of the Kings Grant Open Space Association in perpetuity.

The Kings Grant maintains a host of recreational facilities including: Community Building available for rent; tennis courts; basketball courts; softball field; street hockey rink; volley ball courts; eight tot lots; nature trails; biking paths; bathing beach on Lake James; boating and fishing on the lake systems; Swim Club.

Additionally, "The Links " golf course abuts the community and Richard Rice elementary school is located within Kings Grant.
