Weymouth Township is a township in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 2,715,[1][2][3] reflecting an increase of 458 (+20.3%) from the 2,257 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 300 (+15.3%) from the 1,957 counted in the 1990 Census.

Named for Weymouth, Dorset, the township was created as a constablewick in 1694 and was known in its early days as "New Waymouth Township". Weymouth Township was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 12, 1798, from portions of Egg Harbor Township, while the area was still part of Gloucester County, and was incorporated nine days later. Portions of the township were taken on February 5, 1813, to create Hamilton Township. Weymouth Township became part of the newly created Atlantic County on February 7, 1837. Portions of the township were taken on March 11, 1922, to form Corbin City, and on March 14, 1925, to form Estell Manor.
