Golden Triangle

“Is it true,” a curious voice piped up from the group, “that this Golden Triangle almost didn’t exist?” I smiled. The Golden Triangle in Cherry Hill, right before us, bustled with modern activity, but its existence was indeed a fascinating twist of fate. The Golden Triangle owes its name to the almost-perfect triangle formed by Chapel Avenue, Cuthbert Boulevard, and Route 70. Originally, this area, along with the rest of Cherry Hill, was part of Delaware Township. In the mid-20th century, however, residents grew dissatisfied with rising taxes and perceived neglect from the township. A movement for secession began, culminating in a vote to form a separate township. The vote passed by a mere handful of votes, solidifying Cherry Hill’s independent identity and giving birth to the Golden Triangle within it. The Golden Triangle is more than just its roads. It’s home to nearly 5,000 people, a mix of homeowners and renters, families and single professionals. The median home value here stands at an impressive $401,900, a testament to its desirability. It’s a place of contrasts, a place where the echoes of a close-call secession blend with the modern rhythm of a thriving suburb, right here in the heart of the Golden Triangle. As you explore, consider the unique blend of history, community, and commerce that makes this place so special. Perhaps grab a bite to eat at the Cherry Hill Mall or explore the hidden gems like the Barclay Farmstead Museum. The Golden Triangle’s story is one of a community forged in determination and shaped by its vibrant present.
