context_page_description: Harrison Township is a township in Gloucester County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 12,417, reflecting an increase of 3,629 from the 8,788 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 4,073 from the 4,715 counted in the 1990 Census.
  Harrison Township was originally formed as Spicer Township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 13, 1844, from portions of Greenwich Township and Woolwich Township. That name lasted for less than a year, with Harrison Township adopted as of April 1, 1845. The township was named for President William Henry Harrison.
  Since the institution of Prohibition, Harrison had been a dry township, where alcohol could not be sold. The township's voters passed a referendum in 2009 permitting alcohol by consumption. A second referendum was passed by the voters in 2015 allowing package goods sales. The first liquor store opened in November 2018 and the first bar opened in July 2019.
