It was part of Chester Township, until it split into Maple Shade, and Moorestown. Before 1922 Maple Shade was referred to as "The Maple Shade Section" of Chester Twp. While Moorestown is well off enough to have preserved many of it's Victorian houses, Maple Shade seemed to sacrifice much of that to apartment complexes and development, I guess because they didn't have Moorestown millionaires to pay into the tax base. I think that Moorestown is pretty solidly Republican (I could be mistaken), and Maple Shade is about 2 or 3 to 1 Democratic. Moorestown was also involved in a partition in 1922.
