District composition since 1973 Starting in 1973 with the creation of 40 equal-population districts statewide, the 3rd District was made up of all of Salem County and most of Gloucester County. Some southeastern Gloucester County municipalities were removed from the District in the 1981 redistricting but several sparsely-populated Cumberland County townships along the Delaware Bay were added. The Cumberland County city of Bridgeton and some adjacent townships were added in the 1991 redistricting but the boroughs of Pitman and Glassboro were moved out. The only changes made during the 2001 redistricting were the removal of Woodbury and the addition of Elk Township and Clayton borough. The 2011 apportionment added Franklin Township, Glassboro, Newfield and Woodbury Heights. Municipalities that had been in the 3rd District as part of the 2001 apportionment that were shifted out of the district are Commercial Township , Downe Township , Fairfield Township , Greenwich Township, Hopewell Township , Lawrence Township , Shiloh and Stow Creek Township ; and Harrison Township , Mantua Township and Wenonah .Election history Senate Assembly Election results, 1965–1973 Senate District 3A District 3B District 3C District 3D Assembly District 3A District 3B District 3C District 3D
